KIPPER HARVEY
Gainesville,GA
Summary
I managed a Ford Dealership as Finance Manager from 1994-2020. I was in charge of all contracts, funding of deals, Certified vehicles, sales team training, and all underwriting. I retired, opened my own lot, and still have it. I enjoy being at the gym, and always have, so I took a Personal Training course to add to my knowledge of fitness. I am looking for full or part time work and will change my dealership hours accordingly. Self-motivated professional successful in seizing viable opportunities for expansion and innovation in business. Background in increasing profits, reducing costs and transforming customer service standards. Experienced in leading and supervising operational and sales teams.
