Nevil Hermer

Mr. Nevil Hermer is Executive Advisor at Xecutive Advisory Partners LLC.
After immigrating to New York in 1978, he worked in the diamond business for a family-owned international business.
After relocating to Seattle in 1981, he acquired Nacgoglass, a small automotive glass company that was in financial disrepair, executing a successful turnaround of the small retailer into the first Speedy Auto Glass operation in the US when it was acquired by a Canadian family-owned company.
As President of Speedy, he grew the company into the 2nd largest automotive glass groups in the country, encompassing 110 stores, 100 franchises and 28 warehouses in 16 states over 9 years.
He left Speedy for another glass company, Amilite in NY, where he led the turn-around of a union factory that required the installation of new equipment and the construction of a 200,000 sq.
foot warehouse.
After 3 years Nevil turned the firm over to local management and returned to Seattle, where he purchased Fratelli Corporation, a frozen products distribution company.
He sold Fratelli’s in a successful transaction that guaranteed employment for every employee.
His consulting centered around re-focusing and re-structuring companies.
He then served as President of Wilmar/Performance Tool – a family-owned tool importer and distributor based in Renton.
He left Wilmar at the end of July 2011.
Mr. Nevil received his MBA in Manpower Organization and Development in Cape Town, South Africa.
