Angela Lopez
Managing Partner
When it comes to application and process, Angela is no stranger to the automotive industry and the challenges it faces on a day-to-day basis.
​
Angela began her automotive career in 2012 with a focus on service and customer retention. She moved into the BDC department in 2014 and, just a few years later, became the Internet director for a large Chicagoland auto group managing seven brands and four rooftops. Angela worked directly with OEMs and created systems for service and sales that boosted traffic and sales to all stores.
​
In 2017, Angela joined the Dealer Fox team full-time. She helped developed Funnel Vision, an algorithm within the benchmark software that identifies key performance metrics within the processes and personnel portions of the sales funnel.
​
Angela consistently works to improve her business acumen. She has participated in accelerator programs such as the 1871/IHCC LATINX Program, which led to her acceptance into the Goldman Sachs 10k Small Business Program, which focused on scaling our Dealer Fox business model.
Angela's unique understanding of processes and personnel within Dealer Fox and the dealer partners we serve plays a pivotal role for our firm.
