Bio
Gus Kininmont
I have had the pleasure of working with Michellene for nearly 10 years at Automotive Holdings Group Limited (AHG). During this period, Michellene held a State Manager based role and was subsequently promoted and appointed to a national position with ultimate responsibility and accountability for the strategically important finance & insurance results for AHG, Australia's largest retail automotive group. Michellene is a very well regarded and experienced operative who is more than competent and has a proven track record of outperformance through a combination of strategic foresight, stakeholder engagement, relationship building, strong leadership, passion and shear hard work. During the course of our working relationship it was a pleasure to see Michellene complete her MBA to further round out her keen mind and expand upon her already impressive capabilities. I would have no hesitation in recommending Michellene for a senior role in an organisation that would benefit from her business ready and personal qualities and capabilities. If I could employ Michellene myself, I definitely would!

I have known and worked with Michellene for over 15 years. In that time, I have seen her drive high levels of performance for a number of dealership operations. She has a detailed understanding of the drivers and levers of dealer performance, especially in her field of F&I. During this time, I have also seen her skill set evolve to be more strategic and future focused. I am looking forward to working with Mich on future projects.
