WORK HISTORY
Regional Operations Director @Icahn Automotive
Overseeing regional operations, I set strategies and engage business plans for a group of 40 franchised centers employing 400+ staff across all sites. To this effect, I administer financial programs and advise on profitability initiatives; steer staffing, training, and development decisions; optimize customer service standards; track metrics against objectives; and devise tactics for enhancing results. My key accomplishments have included:• Delivering steadfast leadership to maintain operational excellence throughout four company acquisitions in three years.• Being recognized as a high-performing operations manager, leading the only division with no failing or closed centers, taking the smallest national division to secure the first or second highest revenue in the chain, and ending each year in the top-three among 19 divisions in U.S. and Canada.
