TIA Comments on Fuel Efficiency Mandate The Tire Industry Association says it "continues to have significant concerns regarding the potential impact of California’s new tire regulation on tire dealers."

Turns out, even the CEO has a boss. 🐾😂

Meet Sofi, the four-legged executive keeping TIA CEO Dick Gust on track. And judging by the glasses, suit and very official list of priorities, she takes her responsibilities *very* seriously.

Her leadership philosophy? Keep the team focused, make the big decisions and never schedule a meeting during treat time.

Dick may have the CEO title, but we know Sofi has the final say around the office. 😉
