Summary
Strong leader and problem-solver dedicated to streamlining operations to decrease costs and promote organizational efficiency. Uses independent decision-making skills and sound judgment to positively impact company success.
Am looking to offer 40 plus years of experience in a consulting capacity, assisting dealership management with compliance and certification requirements. Ford's training requirements for all dealership employees, dealership commitment program, and customer experience programs can become an overwhelming task for management , that if not administrated properly, can cost a small to medium size dealership thousands of dollars in revenue from Ford.
