September 2026 · Partly Editorial Team

Partly has appointed Bill Lopez as SVP, Commercial, North America, joining its executive leadership team as the company expands across the region.

Bill brings more than 30 years of experience in collision repair, including approximately 18 years at OEConnection, where he led the collision business. Most recently, he served as VP of Strategic Accounts at Opus IVS. His career spans the relationships between OEMs, dealers, repairers, carriers and technology platforms that underpin the collision repair industry.

His appointment comes as Partly brings its frontier AI for repair to more businesses across North America. Bill brings deep industry knowledge and longstanding relationships to support that growth.

"We believe AI will fundamentally change how the repair industry operates, and the people who have spent their careers building this industry are essential to getting it right. Bill brings more than 30 years of experience and a deep understanding of what progress needs to look like for the businesses doing the work. Having him lead our commercial efforts in North America is a major step towards the scale of impact we want Partly to have."

Levi Fawcett, CEO of Partly

"Having spent more than 30 years in collision repair, I've seen how much time and expertise goes into getting each repair right. Partly is building technology that understands that complexity. I'm excited to work with the team and our partners to put it to work across North America."
