A few members of our HR team attended the SHRM Annual Conference in Orlando in June. Sessions on wellness, resiliency, and total rewards filled the days, alongside plenty of time to swap notes with peers from across the industry, and a little time to just be out of the office together. We even carved out a little time to meet a certain mouse at Disney World. #beabigpartofsomethingbig #learning #professionaldevelopment

We recently had our first happy hour in our new Virginia Beach office. Good food, good company, and a chance to step away from the day-to-day. We also got to welcome CAR Group CEO William Elliott and CFO Geoff Trumbull who were visiting from Australia. Being part of a global business opens up connections you wouldn't otherwise have, and moments like these are a reminder of that. We love seeing our new office coming to life and are looking forward to many more evenings like this one! #beabigpartofsomethingbig #culture #team

AI is already embedded in how we build products and operate as a business. As that capability continues to grow, we’ve put a dedicated group in place to help scale it across the company. Led by our VP of AI, Sasha Pyshkov, the focus is on continuing to evolve the products we build for our customers and helping our people do their best work day to day. We’re building richer, more intelligent views of every unit across our marketplaces by connecting specs, market data, ownership costs, and resale trends. At the same time, we’re rethinking search and discovery so it reflects how people actually shop, based on use case, lifestyle, and budget, not just filters. This isn’t about adding features, it’s about building a marketplace that’s more intelligent at its core, with better tools and insights that help our dealers make more informed decisions and grow their business. #beabigpartofsomethingbig #AI #technology

Last week we took part in United Way of South Hampton Roads’ Day of Action, volunteering at Diamond Springs Elementary School in Virginia Beach. Our team supported campus beautification efforts, from improving the front entrance and clearing yard waste to creating new activity spaces for students. Giving back to the communities where we live and work is an important part of who we are, and a way for our teams to spend time together while making a lasting impact. #beabigpartofsomethingbig #givingback #communityimpact

Juliana Baena, Director of OEM Strategic Partnerships supporting our RV partners, was recently featured in USA Today sharing her perspective on shifting travel behaviors. Her insights reflect what we're seeing across the RV market. As travel costs evolve, more families are rethinking how they spend and looking for options that offer flexibility, control, and a different kind of experience on the road. It's a strong example of how our team stays close to the trends shaping this category and uses those insights to help our partners better understand and reach their consumers. Great work, Juliana, and well deserved recognition! https://lnkd.in/eN6dZaV9

With March Madness in full swing, we kicked things off with a team lunch in our Virginia Beach office and a chance to watch the games together. 🏀 Teams across the US and Canada joined in with their own brackets, creating a shared moment across locations with plenty of conversation, predictions, and friendly competition. It was a good reminder of how coming together like this helps build connection across the business. #beabigpartofsomethingbig #marchmadness #culture

Great to see another CAR Group Tour come together, this time hosted by Webmotors in São Paulo. These moments create a valuable opportunity to learn from how our teams operate in different markets and to build stronger connections across the group. A special thank you to Kaitlyn Patterson MBA for representing Trader Interactive and bringing those insights back to our team.

We’ve been Great Place to Work Certified for the third year in a row! Great cultures don’t happen by accident.

This recognition reflects the culture our teams continue to shape - through strong relationships, open collaboration and pride in what we deliver together. #beabigpartofsomethingbig #GPTWcertified #technology #culture
