The Team

Nick Benuska, Principle/Founder

I grew up in the downriver area of Michigan (‘south’ of Detroit); however, I eventually attended Loyola University Chicago where I majored in Organization Development and Management. After too many years of cold winters, I wanted to move to the West Coast. Eventually, I moved to Los Angeles and a passion for cars (and a very bumpy economy) led me into a few managerial positions at Keyes Mercedes-Benz & Audi Beverly Hills.

But the Motor City called me back. I took a position as General Sales Manager at a Porsche store. It is a real honor to work and learn from such a storied Brand. My team and I implemented award-winning digital strategies, achieved the fastest-growing center in the Midwest for 6 consecutive years, and won the Automotive News Best Dealer to Work For Award, amongst other accolades.

Beyond my career, I'm actively involved in the automotive community – a member of the Porsche Digital Advisory Board and regularly consult for software companies researching UX/CX.

Helping others is also a passion. You'll find me volunteering with SCORE South East Michigan, MotorCity Greyhound Rescue, and bothering people to donate during the holiday season for my Gleaners food drive and Toys 4 Tots toy drive.
