In this episode, I’m joined by Christopher Walsh, President and Acting CEO at Reynolds and Reynolds — a man who’s spent 38 years inside the walls of one of the automotive industry’s most influential companies. From starting in customer support to now steering the entire ship, Chris has seen every side of the business… and he’s not slowing down.

What we discuss in this episode:

We talk about the leadership style that’s guided him, and how a single dealership meeting in New Jersey sparked a program that’s now helping dealers across the country get more value from the tools they already have. Chris also shares how Reynolds is building AI into their products in a way that actually helps dealers — from Spark AI to their new robotics initiative that’s speeding up parts delivery to techs in the service bay.

You’ll hear:

• How connecting online and in-store shoppers can create one seamless experience
• Why e-contracting could mean the difference between waiting days for funding… or just hours
• How combining multiple data sources into one view changes how you market to customers
• What it takes to remove the roadblocks that slow down both your team and your customers

Chris isn’t just talking about change, he’s showing how one of the industry’s oldest names is making moves to stay ahead of it. If you want to see where dealerships could be headed next and how technology might actually make the experience more human, this conversation is worth every minute.
