Glen
Sealey has been appointed as General Manager for
Maserati in Australia and New Zealand, succeeding Edward
Butler who has held the position since the franchise
moved to European Automotive Imports in 2005, and who
will now move to run the European Automotive
Imports-owned ‘Ferrari Maserati Sydney’ dealership.
“Ed
Butler has transformed Maserati’s position in the
Australian and New Zealand markets, making it the most
successful brand in its market sector and the benchmark
for premium customer care,” says Glen Sealey. “It is,
therefore, both an honour and pleasure to take over a
brand that is both a legend and in such health. I look
forward to further developing and strengthening
Maserati’s position in our markets, starting with the
launch of the GranCabrio later this year.”
Following completion of his university education Glen
Sealey started his career with European Automotive
Imports parent company, Ateco Automotive Pty Ltd as
marketing coordinator in 1994.
Two
years later Mr Sealey joined Hyundai Australia as
Regional Sales Manager for southern New South Wales
before expanding his geographical coverage to all of New
South Wales with his new role as Regional Manager for
Audi in 1988, a role that encompassed all areas of
dealership performance. His first role that covered the
whole country came in 2002 when he joined Peugeot
Automobiles Australia as Dealer Business Manager.
Glen
Sealey joined European Automotive Imports in 2008 as
Dealer Operations Manager for Ferrari Australia and New
Zealand, an extensive role on both sides of the Tasman
that included the management of both new and Ferrari
Approved Used car sales, dealership sales and management
training, vehicle ordering and delivery, pricing and
product positioning and budget control. Mr Sealey (37)
was born in Condobolin, New South Wales where his family
own the local Ford dealership and lives in Sydney with
his wife and two children.
