President - Art Skiados

Art has a unique blend of automotive industry experience on both the retail and vendor supply sides. He has vast DMS experience and is certified in six technical areas. Art has managed every department in the automobile dealership. After winning numerous rewards for service management, he moved his focus to growing one of the largest self-funded leasing companies in the country. His next challenge was running the sales and service divisions for the SE Region of an international rent-a-car company. Art has hundreds of hours of manufacturer training, ranging from Subaru to Porsche. He has experience with most makes, running the gamut from Kia to Rolls Royce and Ferrari. In 1999, Art switched gears and became a lead system installer and trainer for ADP accounts in Florida, including AutoNation. He left ADP and joined Wizard Finance System (later Lease Link) as Sales Origination Manager. One responsibility he accepted was coordinating the 2001 NADA booth, which resulted in the third highest number of registered visitors at the convention. He then returned to ADP in 2003, where he was responsible for the marketing, sales and installs of the Enhanced Laser Forms (ELF) product. In 2007, he designed and created the packaging for a new ELF feature, which increased sales revenues over 400%. Art left ADP at the end of 2008 to focus on consulting and product marketing aimed at helping dealers maintain stability and growth in challenging economic conditions.
