Real Voice
“At 19, I joined Porsche as an administrator, however I quickly decided my ambition was to
sell cars. I had an excellent and supportive manager who encouraged me immensely and
became my mentor. At 21, I started selling Porsche. The best part of my job is still being part of
doing deals! I get to meet great sales teams and work alongside them, sharing my knowledge and best practice.”
