Our Product Evangelist Jimmy Lea is taking a bold step forward in his career.  No, he didn’t own KUKUI, but he’ll definitely be taking some KUKUI beads with him.  Next month Jimmy will be joining The Institute for Automotive Business Excellence. Lea has been a part of the KUKUI Ohana since 2018, helping auto repair shop owners make the most of their marketing efforts proven by data driven analytics. With his extensive experience in the automotive industry, Lea is a perfect fit for The Institute.

Jimmy Lea was initially drawn to KUKUI due to our focus on providing auto repair shop owners with the tools they need to succeed (and let’s be honest, the KUKUI beads). With KUKUI, Jimmy saw an opportunity to help automotive business owners make their dreams come true, and his. He appreciated our commitment to creating a positive and open culture, as well as the dedication of KUKUI to its team members and shop owners. This combination of positive attributes made Jimmy feel at home and inspired him to become a part and stay a part of the KUKUI Ohana.
