Powell on learning how to be a better employer from managing through the pandemic: “I’ve learned to talk to everybody each day. Ask about thoughts and concerns; listen to ideas and suggestions; communicate the company plan and provide updates frequently. The pandemic was a very fluid situation, if everyone was on the same page, we were able to navigate through more effectively.”

Powell on diversity, equity and inclusion as it relates to hiring and employment: “We have always been a team comprised of great diversity. Audi North Scottsdale and the Audi brand attract team members from all backgrounds because there is such great opportunities for everyone.”
