In my current role, I am responsible for the training and continuing education of new and experienced area managers alike. Their leadership and training creates the company culture and transfers to thirty teams of customer-facing branch managers. As such, I have been entrusted with the development of hundreds of employees in the largest and perhaps the most significant department of our business, which has a direct and major impact on profitability and revenue generation.I have gained my experience by owning multiple businesses as well as working at Webuyanycar.com since our founding in the US.

In my previous role in the company, I hired, trained and led teams of 8-15 branch managers in our Pittsburgh, Tampa, Raleigh and St. Louis markets. In addition to creating and leading training sessions and classes, I am responsible for the development of lesson plans, training materials and procedural outlines.As of December 2023, I have taken on additional leadership roles in customer experience and marketing.

I also continue to maintain specialized content knowledge and collaborate with a variety of other teams in purchasing, sales, leadership, pricing, software engineering, analytics and technology.

I led our Greater St. Louis Area expansion, building our eighteenth market nationwide at that time. Our St. Louis team reached record-setting profitability in less than six months. St. Louis is currently the fastest market to reach profitability, the fastest market to establish fleet relationships with other businesses and the fastest market to show profit in 100% of branches (8 of 8). St. Louis is the fourth area I have led, having previously built and managed the Greater Pittsburgh Area, the Tampa Bay Area and the Raleigh-Durham Area.My goals are to provide the best customer service experience in the industry, maintain the most knowledgeable and skilled team of managers, and consistently increase profits by emphasizing our customer-first culture. What is good for our customer is good for our business and the automotive industry.My primary focus is on my teammates and our customers, and my relevant skills are in the areas of leadership, career development and training, operations, customer service, pricing, technology, sales and analytics. I work with a variety of departments and department heads to achieve our goals.

As a Senior Branch Manager, I was tasked with running our Peters Township location, exceeding KPIs, branch P&L responsibility, training new hires, and assisting the Area Manager with interviews and hiring. I also maintained my previous commitments of the Branch Manager role.With our Area Manager based in Philadelphia during this time, I was in a de facto Area Manager role to handle many issues locally for a total of four branches.I remained in this position until we began our full Pittsburgh expansion in February 2013, earning a promotion to oversee all our Western Pennsylvania locations as the Pittsburgh Area Manager.

My career with webuyanycar.com began as a Management Trainee in March 2011. After completing initial training in Willow Grove, PA, I managed our Wilkes-Barre branch from inception until my transfer to Pittsburgh in December 2011.As pioneers in not only an early-stage startup company, but a brand new business model in the US, my colleagues and I set the tone, developing the culture that still defines our brand today. We built a fast, safe, fair and convenient service with the goal of becoming the premier destination for customers to sell their used vehicles. We have revolutionized the automotive industry in the United States and grown to 200+ locations. In addition to physical branches, we have also expanded to offer mobile purchasing services.My tasks in the early phase were to generate new business, assess vehicle condition and build a relationship-based and customer service-oriented business model. We also engaged in QA and brute force trial-and-error testing of our proprietary pricing engine, at the time built on a quantile regression model. In December 2012, I was transferred to Pittsburgh to open the Peters Township branch. There I excelled in all aspects of the business, earning one of our company’s earliest Senior Branch Manager promotions.

Capaldo Research and Analytics is a full-service business consulting firm specializing in quantitative, statistical, technical and metric/KPI analysis. We have decades of work experience in analytics, as well as expertise in AI/ML, big data, LLMs and proficiency in algorithms and real-world problem solving.Our founder Jeff Capaldo has studied nearly every emerging analytical technology of the previous 20 years and has the knowledge and experience to prove it. Capaldo R&A is the confluence of his expertise across these technologies and is now the parent company of Observect, which he founded for his most ambitious projects over a decade ago.We serve businesses of all sizes, sole proprietors, non-profit organizations and executives who want to exceed past performance and achieve future growth.

Observect is the brainchild of Jeff Capaldo, who has spent his career working at the intersection of operations and analytics. We specialize in technical analysis, applying the patterns of physics found in the natural world to predict future business activity and events. The name ‘Observect’ is both a contraction of "the observer effect" and a reference to the observation of vectors.In the first sense, the name illustrates our commitment to using the most accurate models and quantitative tools to eliminate any bias of our observation on your data. We work to ensure that the data we extract represents an exact copy of the underlying activity, which we use in predictive modeling.The second interpretation of our name refers to vectors - an object that has both size and direction. Just as in the programming language Ruby, wherein everything is an object, we see every aspect of your business as a vector. One of millions of items in a given dataset has magnitude and direction, as does your entire business. We understand and explain your data to manage and optimize the magnitude and direction of the "vectors" that mean the most to your bottom line.
