JACK BROWN

Paddington,QLD

Summary

Beginning my sales journey in door to door sales I was quick to develop a genuine urge to succeed. Instinctive self motivation has always been my biggest strength and point of difference amongst peers. This has enabled me to achieve great team and individual success. By age 20 I was able to build an organisation of 56 sales agents operating in 4 locations nationally. After 5 great years I looked forward to my next challenge. I spent a lot of time with my uncle & mentor who had built a successful career in the automotive prestige wholesale business. I had an incredible passion for business and for cars also. This was the beginning of my automotive journey. In 10 years I have been able to represent iconic manufacturers such as Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Maserati. I have worked along side great minds such as the 2 founders of Dutton Garage during the infancy of online vehicle buying which has seen tremendous success. I joined Mercedes-Benz Brisbane in 2015 as a new car sales executive before taking my opportunity to manage the wholesale division across 5 Mercedes-Benz locations and lead the pre-owned arm to record breaking and award winning success.


My personal life is quite simple, however blissful and fulfilling. I live with my partner Louise who works as a MCN (Clinical Nurse) at RBWH, whilst studying her masters in medicine. When time permits we enjoy international travel and experiencing as much as possible, or more usually heading out to local restaurants and bars to catch up with friends and family. I currently attend aviation school where I am furthering my studies to the next level of my pilot license. I take as much opportunity as I can to take to the sky and fly somewhere for the day exploring beautiful scenic landscapes that Queensland offers. As a teenager I was diagnosed with cancer which made it necessary to be in full time hospital care. 3 years later after many rounds of chemotherapy and surgeries I was lucky enough to beat the illness and have been healthy and active ever since. I currently volunteer with Camp Quality in a leadership role which gives me the opportunity to give back to an organisation that helped my family and I during a challenging time.
