AutoAlert Endorses Learning Investments for Under 40 Dealership Leaders

IRVINE, CA -- Feb. 23, 2015: AutoAlert, LLC., North America's premier data mining, sales opportunity and retention provider, today announced its sponsorship of the Automotive Leadership Under 40 Retreat (ALU40) set for March 17-19 at the SLS Las Vegas Hotel.

"Given the pace and complexity of automotive retailing, younger dealer principals, managers and service provider leaders often learn on the job and on the fly. Events such as the ALU40 retreat create a collaborative forum to discuss the leadership skills and behaviors needed to run successful and profitable dealerships," said AutoAlert CEO Brian Skutta.

"The retreat also provides an opportunity for all of us to invest in leadership development and learning opportunities for up-and-coming leaders and have a positive impact on our industry. I am excited to hear from the fantastic list of presenters the ALU40 team has assembled," added Skutta, a featured speaker at the retreat.

A member of this under 40 demographic, Skutta will speak about leadership observations from his experience of progressively successful auto industry and civic leadership roles. In his ALU40 talk, Skutta will help attendees understand how to purposely define and communicate leadership principles, create a playbook for repeatable success, and find their "A" team.

Skutta assumed the AutoAlert CEO role in September. The company employs over 100 and serves more than 2,400 dealerships.
