■ MotorPeople&more, Elena Alberti! ■ Elena Alberti, Managing Director | Board Member, Penske Automotive Italy: " Our ambition is not to be the largest but to be the best—for our customers, our employees, our shareholders, and our OEM partners." ■ Elena Alberti: "If someone had told me back when I was a young intern in Detroit in 1999 that by 2024, we would have built a thriving business in my own country, with nearly $1 billion in revenues, 23 locations, and 800 employees, I would have found it hard to believe. Today, seeing PAG Italy ranked as the #19 company in revenues in our region fills me with immense pride. ■ Elena Alberti: "When I was 22 and left for the USA, I always carried a sense of responsibility to give something back to my country. Italy gave me an outstanding, free education, and yet I left because I saw the USA as a place where merit and hard work were more recognized and rewarded. I was lucky to land in a great company that bought me that effort always equals results. ■ Elena Alberti: "Now, after 12 years of relentless effort in the Italian market with an outstanding team, I am proud of what we have achieved. Our ambition is not to be the largest but to be the best—for our customers, our employees, our shareholders, and our OEM partners. We strive to build the best team, a company where meritocracy thrives, one of the most rewarding yet challenging places to join—and the hardest to leave." ■ Elena Alberti: "A big part of our success has been uniting American meritocracy with Italian creativity and ability to navigate through complexity. This combination has been key to our growth and demonstrates how this approach can elevate Italy's standing in the global economic environment. Here’s to many more milestones ahead, and to contributing to Penske global success as well as Italy’s business excellence. 🇮🇹 #PAG #PenskeAutomotiveGroup #Leadership #Meritocracy #BusinessGrowth #Italy #HardWork #effortequalsresults #automotive #cars #PenskeAutomotiveItaly https://lnkd.in/eVaBwK9d

🌟 Reflecting On an Unforgettable Experience with Nissan 🌟 On June 4th 2024, I had the incredible opportunity to participate in a pre-lab immersion experience with Nissan Motor Corporation as part of my 𝗠𝗕𝗔 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝘁 IE Business School. Although a few weeks have passed, the insights and inspiration from this event have been resonating with me, and I wanted to take the time to share this impactful experience. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗟𝗮𝗯 (𝗕𝗜𝗟) is a unique component of the IE Business School MBA program, where students collaborate with leading companies like Nissan to solve real-world business challenges. This hands-on experience allows us to apply theoretical knowledge in a practical setting, driving innovation and impactful solutions. During the event, we delved into Nissan's operations with an insightful presentation by Christian Costaganna, Managing Director of Nissan Spain, and Laura Serrano Martinez, Head of Strategy and Business Planning at Nissan Spain. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆'𝘀 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲, 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀, 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀, 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝘂𝗿, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁-𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴. 📅 Key Highlights: - Deep dive into Nissan's strategic vision and challenges - Engaging Q&A sessions with industry leaders - Networking opportunities with peers and professionals As an MBA student passionate about the automotive industry, this event resonated deeply with me. Having previously worked in the automotive sector, the upcoming Business Impact Lab Challenge starting in September 2024 is an exciting opportunity to collaborate with Nissan Spain on real-world challenges. This is HUGE!!! 💥 I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Nissan Motor Corporation and to the IE Business School management for making this a reality. Special thanks to David Suarez, Víctor Cantavella Nadal, Miguel Torres de Miguel, Caroline Mahler Pacheco, MBA, Balvinder Singh Powar, and Aashish Prasad for their support and guidance. 𝗜'𝗺 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗲 𝗮𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗟𝗮𝗯 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗡𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗻. Connecting with professionals who share a passion for innovation and sustainability in the automotive industry is something I eagerly anticipate. #MBA #Nissan #Impact #AutomotiveIndustry #Innovation #Sustainability 📸 Here's a snapshot of our enthusiastic cohort at the event!

Have you ever felt stuck in a comfortable job? That's where I was in my early 30s. The year was 1978. I was working at General Motors importing auto generators from Adam Opel GM in Germany. To be frank, I found the work monotonous. I was there because GM was well known and the benefit package was outstanding. But what I really found myself captivated by was the world of *export.* Korean products were just entering the global market, and the potential for growth was exhilarating. Even though I had neither the experience nor the capital, I had an unwavering passion and a vision that pushed me forward. So, I left behind the security, prestige, and stability I had at General Motors to take a bold leap to join Hyundai Corporation, a much lesser known company at the time. Reflecting on that journey, here are some observations on how that move impacted my career: 1️⃣ The Value of Fresh Beginnings: Embracing new environments at Hyundai reignited my ambition, exposing me to diverse business cultures and challenges. This shift expanded my professional network and sharpened my innovative thinking in sales strategies. 2️⃣ The Value of Lifelong Learning: Navigating Hyundai's steep learning curve taught me adaptability and a growth mindset. I learned to embrace challenges as opportunities for growth, deepening my expertise in global trade and enhancing my resilience in a dynamic industry. 3️⃣ The Value of Overcoming Inexperience: Despite initial limitations in trade experience, I leveraged initiative and strategic thinking to excel. Seeking mentorship and applying existing skills, I developed effective market strategies and positioned Korean products competitively worldwide. #sales #trade #globalmarket #careers #motivation #personaldevelopment 👂 Share your stories in the comments! 🫵 What was a turning point in YOUR career? 🧐 Have you taken a risk that paid off?

"Does Global Mobility have a seat at the table?" I was asked this last week. In short, I said no. I don't feel in-house GM functions are where they should be in many companies. I'm still having conversations with Directors who have to fight their corner. BUT I know there are organisations that are paving the way in the GM world. So if the latter applies to you, what has worked for you/your team to make sure GM does have a seat at the table?

Knock, knock … Who’s there? It’s Li Auto at Premium Sound Solutions! 🚗🎉 ✨ Last week, we had the honor of welcoming Li Auto to our headquarters in Dendermonde, Belgium. Their visit was perfectly aligned with the grand opening of their new R&D center in Munich, Germany, where we had the privilege of joining the celebrations. 🤝 Following these two European events, our teams reconvened in China for a closing workshop. This collaborative session deepened our partnership and focused on delivering exceptional sound systems for Li Auto’s flagship models, including the Mega. 🎶🚘 Together, we’re shaping audio experiences that are not just heard but felt, creating an emotional connection on every journey. 💓🎵 🎁 To mark this partnership, PSS presented Li Auto with a custom bamboo speaker, symbolizing strength, reliability, and our shared commitment to sustainability. Bamboo, a fast-renewable material, reflects both innovation and eco-consciousness. We were equally honored to receive a thoughtful gift from Li Auto, a testament to the mutual respect and shared values between our teams. 🚀 The road ahead is exciting! Together, we’ll continue developing groundbreaking sound systems that redefine automotive excellence and leave a lasting impact on the industry. 📽️ Enjoy the video of these events and the self-driving car ;-)! Thanks to our internship Denia Baert 🙌 #PSS #LiAuto #Innovation #FutureOfSound #Sustainability #Collaboration #DrivingExperience 🚗🎶
