Experience
Performance Manager
Apr 2018 — Present · US
With over 25 years of experience in the automotive industry, I provide clients with exceptional service to meet their business objectives. My career has encompassed roles ranging from automotive sales management to my current position as a Performance Manager for vAuto/Cox Automotive.After achieving success as a General Manager, I chose to leverage my expertise by partnering with clients to coach, teach, and train them in the best practices in vehicle sourcing, processes, gross profit, and sales volume. My role enables me to combine my passion for the automotive industry with my knowledge to assist both franchise and independent dealers in enhancing their understanding of market trends, maintaining fresh inventory, and increasing profit margins throughout their dealerships.This highly tailored approach allows our Performance Management Team to provide optimal support, enabling clients to maximize results using advanced software solutions. I am dedicated to the continuous improvement of dealership practices by continually learning and sharing industry-leading best practices.One of the most significant milestones of my career occurred when I was appointed General Manager of Anderson BMW, Mazda, and Volkswagen at the age of 29. During my tenure, the dealership achieved record-breaking gross/net profits, expanded to multiple locations, built new showrooms, and developed long-term business and community relationships.Working for Cox Automotive, an outstanding company, provides me with the flexibility to remain active in parenting four wonderful children, volunteering, golfing, boating, and spending quality time with family and friends.
