Matt, a consultant with Crimson’s IT recruitment agency, has account managed two of Crimson’s major global automotive clients and is passionate about new innovative technologies and business models in the car industry and its connected sectors.
Over recent months, Matt has penned several articles about car subscription models, in which he has discussed how they are disrupting the sector, changing views on car ownership, the technology being used to make them a reality, and why the automotive giants are embracing the idea of ‘Cars as a Service’ (CaaS).
In his latest article, Matt has interviewed Erik Day, Chief Financial Officer for Warren Henry Automotive Group in the Miami/Fort Lauderdale Area. Warren Henry is a 400+ employee and $600m revenue holding company consisting of 13 automotive franchises and other vertically integrated businesses.
