I lead luxury automotive sales teams, improving profitability, process execution, inventory performance, and premium client experiences.
What I'm looking for
I've led luxury automotive sales operations across Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, BMW, and Toyota for more than 14 years, building teams and driving sales performance across Southern California.
At Mercedes-Benz of Laguna Niguel, I directed the full sales operation for four years, leading managers and sales professionals while driving revenue, gross profit, unit performance, inventory strategy, deal structure, and F&I collaboration.
I've built coaching, sales-meeting, accountability, and process programs that strengthen customer engagement, follow-up, retention, and team ownership. My leadership is hands-on, disciplined, and centered on servant leadership and culture.
In my current fleet and guest experience sales role at South County Lexus, I develop retail, fleet, broker, and database-driven business while supporting deal strategy and delivering a luxury-level client experience.
