About John Paul Layne
I have a passion for operations with a proven track record of leading large, multi-unit automotive organizations to measurable growth, operational excellence, and digital transformation. Over the past two decades, I’ve partnered directly with C-suite leaders and ownership teams to modernize processes, optimize CRM/DMS adoption, implement emerging technologies, and drive revenue growth across nationwide operations.I specialize in scaling operations, building high-performing teams, and turning underperforming stores into profitable, efficient operations. By aligning strategy, technology, and people, I deliver sustainable results in sales, customer experience, compliance, and process innovation. I thrive on leading complex, enterprise-level initiatives that improve performance, strengthen culture, and create long-term value for stakeholders.
