About Kevin McDonald
I lead high-performing operations in the civilian sector while serving as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army Reserve, giving me a unique perspective on leadership, systems, and performance across both environments.With over 15 years of experience in the OEM and retail automotive industry, combined with military leadership, I focus on driving growth, profitability, and market share through disciplined execution and strong team development. My background includes marketing, digital strategy, inventory control, expense management, and building teams that deliver consistent results.I am particularly interested in how organizations identify and develop talent, and where traditional systems may overlook leadership potential and real-world impact. I believe strong organizations are built on clear expectations, accountability, and leaders who develop their people while delivering results.
