ABOUT JASON PRESS

I’ve spent my career running complex businesses where execution, accountability, and people matter. Most recently, I served as General Manager of Chicago’s only Subaru dealership, leading more than 90 team members across multiple facilities. I was responsible for all variable, fixed, finance, and administrative functions. I’m proud of the work our team did — growing sales and fixed operations, improving financial performance, and raising the bar on customer experience. My leadership style is straightforward and disciplined. I believe in clear expectations, aligned pay plans, strong process, and a culture where good people can do their best work and see a future. Before and alongside my automotive career, I spent over 20 years in commercial real estate, with involvement in more than $1.5 billion in career transactions across retail and automotive assets. That experience shaped how I think about capital, facilities, site decisions, and long-term value — all of which matter in dealership operations.I’m now focused on finding my next automotive general management role with an owner or group that values performance, integrity, and long-term thinking.
