“Having been an automotive dealer and served on several local, state and national dealer associations and councils, and now teaching variable operations best practices, I’m happy to be on the CPO panel to share my perspective learned as a dealer, but also through my exposure to so many other dealerships’ pre-owned strategies through my work at the NCM Institute,” said Cunningham.
