Nikki Warburton, formerly Audi’s chief customer and marketing officer, has made a personal investment in CarExpert and joined the company’s board.
Starting with immediate effect, Warburton has joined as a non-executive director and will take an active and strategic role in the company one day per week.
“I’m really excited and proud to welcome Nikki to the CarExpert board. Nikki’s expertise in the automotive industry and insights into what makes OEM’s, New Car Dealerships and New Car buyers tick will provide us an even greater understanding in building market-leading products,” said CarExpert’s CEO Damon Reilly.
“Nikki’s active involvement in the Australian business community will help build CarExpert’s reputation as Australia’s leading online new car marketplace,” he added.
Alborz Fallah, CarExpert’s co-founder and publisher told Mumbrella that after initially approaching Warburton to join the board, she also decided to invest in the company.
“It’s always a good thing when the person who’s joining your board is also personally invested in it, so you know that they believe in it too,” he said.
