About M.D. Wilkie

 With over two decades of experience in the automotive industry, I bring a unique blend of operational know-how, strategic leadership, and a people-first mindset to every consulting partnership. My journey has included key roles such as Finance Manager, Used Car Manager, Senior Sales Manager, General Manager, and Regional Manager—each adding a new layer to my understanding of what drives success in the automotive retail industry.

Throughout my 21-year career, I’ve led high-performing teams, driven significant sales growth, and transformed underperforming operations into thriving business units. In my most recent leadership role, I achieved a 37% increase in pre-owned sales while consistently ranking among the top in my region. More importantly, I helped reshape the workplace culture, building unity, encouraging collaboration, and igniting a renewed sense of purpose among team members.

At the core of my leadership style is servant leadership, a philosophy that prioritizes people above all else. I lead by example, prioritize trust and accountability, and focus on developing leaders from within. My commitment to growth is reflected in my certifications from Dale Carnegie’s Develop Your Leadership Potential and Skills for Success programs, which continue to influence the way I engage with teams and clients alike.
As a management consultant, I partner with automotive organizations to help them elevate their culture, refine their operations, and enhance their bottom line. From optimizing processes to mentoring leadership teams, I bring both strategic clarity and hands-on experience to help you achieve your goals.

Whether your team is navigating growth, struggling with cohesion, or simply seeking a fresh perspective, I’m here to help build something more substantial together.
