Matt Weinberg Joins Drive Motors as SVP
SAN FRANCISCO — Dealer ecommerce solutions provider Drive Motors announced that Matt Weinberg will be joining the team as senior vice president of consumer experience. Weinberg joins the company from Showroom Logic, an automotive digital marketing company, where he served as chief strategy officer.
“I’m excited to join the team during this pivotal phase for Drive Motors, a company that’s uniquely positioned as the online-checkout pioneer in the automotive space,” said Weinberg, who will be based in South Florida. “As the company continues to develop consumer-friendly features that will streamline the future of car buying, I’m looking forward to expanding our dealership network and driving those efforts.”
An industry veteran, Weinberg brings nearly 20 years of automotive experience to his new role. His responsibilities include engaging with dealer groups to create online strategies that drive the best consumer experience. Additionally, he will be growing a team of automotive ecommerce experts that will help dealers seamlessly deliver online checkout to car buyers nationwide, according to the company.
