My guest in this episode is Agnes Di Leonardi — an automotive executive, a lawyer, and one of the few recipients of the prestigious Order of Canada for her contributions to the industry. With over 30 years of experience across companies like Ford, Mazda, and Simtec Dealer Services, Agnes brings a wealth of knowledge about leadership, inclusion, and the evolution of the auto business.

In this episode, we talk about why representation matters, how resilience and curiosity fuel career growth, and what practical steps dealers can take to create more inclusive and successful organizations.

If you’re serious about growing your business, future-proofing your leadership team, and building an organization that mirrors and serves today’s customer base — this conversation is a must-listen.
