As the President of Automotive for HookLogic, I am responsible for the strategic vision as well as the day to day operations that includes National and Direct sales, operations, product, and client services. We work with OEMs and agencies, large and small dealer groups, as well as vendor-partners to build the ultimate attribution model in the automotive industry. As the co-architect of our product set, I take great pride in our growth in the industry. Thousands of dealerships and several OEMs use our solutions every day.
In addition to my venture with Mobile Tattletale Applications, a mobile app tech firm that specializes in distractive driving avoidance, I am the founding partner of HT Automotive Capital Partners and CEO of BlueAuto Interactive, a mobile marketing company. At HTACP, we seed small tech start-ups and connect the dots of execution. My prior experience included the position of Chief Marketing Officer for a large Automotive Group. I was one of five key executives that lead the privately held multi-franchise auto dealership group. There, I was responsible for overhauling organizational practices including operations, advertising, marketing, internet lead management, eCommerce, recruitment, corporate training, and the effective redesign of more than 90 websites. I also started and oversaw our in-house ad agency as well as participated in our small to mid cap venture capital firm, Atlantic Capital . Much earlier in my life, I worked on the vendor side of the business with a leadership position at Autobase, Inc., the automotive industry’s leading CRM Company.
