Wholesale2015 — 2016
Porsche of Annapolis
Sold cool people, cool cars. The origin story. No notes — except that selling a Porsche is less about the machine and more about understanding exactly what someone wants from life.
OriginEvery great career has an ignition point. Michael's was a Porsche showroom in Annapolis — learning that selling an exceptional machine is really about understanding what people want from life, and earning their trust in about twenty minutes.
That instinct — product conviction, rapid trust, consultative close — has powered every role in the decade since. From Manheim's wholesale lanes to Cox's national accounts to building EV data infrastructure at Recurrent.
The natural next gear. Michael is doing VP-level work already — national partnerships, category strategy, industry committee leadership. The title is the formality. The capability is already there.
Ford, GM, Stellantis — all sitting on growing off-lease EV inventory they don't fully know how to price or move. Michael knows both the data and the buyers. That's a rare combination right now.
ChargePoint, EVgo, Blink — all trying to crack dealer and fleet relationships. Michael has the rolodex and the credibility. He can open those doors on day one, which is exactly what early-stage infrastructure needs.
Early-stage auto-tech startups need one thing before product-market fit: someone who can get in the room with dealers and auction platforms and close. That skill set is rare. Michael has it.
The used EV market is the murkiest, most interesting problem in automotive right now. Range anxiety, battery degradation, residual uncertainty — and Michael sits at the exact intersection of data and trust that solves it.
Not many people can say they've sold a Porsche, moved iron at Manheim, built national dealer programs at Cox, and are now building the data layer for the EV transition. That combination doesn't happen twice.
