Sun Auto Tire & Service Appoints Susie Long as Chief People Officer

Sun Auto Tire & Service announced Susie Long as its newest chief people officer in a recent press release.

Long brings decades of experience in organizational strategy and leadership development. Most recently, she served as chief human resources officer for Bridgestone Americas West.

Prior to joining Sun Auto, Long’s career with Bridgestone spanned a decade, where she held progressive senior leadership positions overseeing the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. She led enterprise initiatives covering talent, engagement, organization, and culture, and built programs focused on leadership capability, teammate retention, and operational consistency across multiple business units.

In her new role with Sun Auto, Long will lead all aspects of Sun Auto’s people strategy, including talent development, engagement, and scalable HR systems.

“It’s a rare privilege to help shape the next chapter of a company that’s growing as quickly and intentionally as Sun,” said Long. “Great organizations are built through people. We’ll do that by creating clarity, trust, and opportunity at every level for our guests and our teammates. That’s the Sun Auto culture—a culture that we’ll continue to build on together.”

“Sun’s growth story is powered by our people,” said Tony Puckett, chief executive officer. “We seek to create an environment where strong leaders and great teams can thrive. Susie’s lifetime of experience designing scalable talent and performance systems will help us strengthen the foundation that fuels our growth, our value, and the service we deliver to guests every day.”
