Overview

During my 26+ years in the automotive and transportation fields I've served in executive management, and sales roles, developing marketing and e-Commerce strategies, web development projects, and other business development strategies. Working for two of the largest Midwest banks I honed my public relations skills by working with local media and highlighting the positive impact of our programs on consumers and dealers in our markets.

At The Dubis Group I work with companies, primarily in the automotive, finance and technology space who are looking to take their operations to the next level. By providing marketing and strategic support I help organizations introduce new products, services, expand current projects and initiate strategies to build their customer and prospect base.

CarFolks.com is my other major project at this time and my partner, David Hein and I have designed a social media site to help auto dealers and their sales team member build a positive brand online.

Recently I held the position of Editor of Digital Dealer magazine, where I wrote-about the state of technology, eCommerce and strategies that helped dealerships advance their Web agenda's.

Over the years, I have worked for some of the largest automotive retailers in South Florida and then utilized my entrepreneurial skills by owning and managing my own vehicle leasing company for eight years. The South Florida Business Journal included Arrow Motorcar on their list of the Top 25 leasing companies in the market.

I also held positions in the financial services arena for two of the largest banks in the country, KeyBank and National City Bank. While working for these institutions I developed marketing strategies, online alliances, and some cutting edge Web sites for the banking industry.

At National City I developed, The National City Auto Channel. This was the first online automotive shopping portal hosted on a bank web site. It tied together the bank's network of 3000+ dealers and promoted them to a potential customer market of over four million households in the Mid-West. Under my watch we also introduced EzDealer.net a news, products and services site for dealers to obtain information about bank lending programs. National City exited the automotive retail business in November 2005 and these sites are no longer in production.
