Darren Bonanno General Manager
Hi, my name is Darren Bonanno and I am the General Manager of Wellesley Mazda. I began my career in the Automotive Retail Business in 2000 as a sales consultant. After working for a large national corporate dealer group for about 6 years I had the pleasure of meeting Joe Shaker of Shaker Automotive Group.
What I like most about being a part of the Wellesley Mazda team is the family atmosphere and our easy going approach to serving our customers. It’s been a refreshing change for me and the last two and half years have flown by. That’s because we make it fun for both our employees and our loyal customers. Please stop by and see for yourself.
Rick Silvestri Director of Internet Sales
I have been in the automobile industry for the better part of 20 years. I understand that most people dislike the idea of having to deal with automobile dealers.
I was told by several persons that I would like the way the Shaker family treats their employees and their customers. They said it was altogether different than you would expect. After some initial reluctance, I went and interviewed for a position with Joe Shaker and here I am into my third year and I am most happy with my decision.
For my part, I have focused on reversing that feeling people dislike and found that the Shaker Auto Group is a place where the customer can experience an environment of low-pressure and honesty which does not exist at most dealerships.
I enjoy working here and hope you choose to experience this first-hand.
Dan McBride General Sales Manager
Hi, my name is Dan McBride and I am the General Sales Manager. I have been in the automotive industry for the last 8 years, the last five of which have been as a sales manager.
I started at Wellesley Mazda in July of 2008 and very much enjoy the family atmosphere shared by employees and customers. My goal is to ensure that all customers get the best level or service, have a great dealership experience, and enjoy a continued relationship with Wellesley Mazda.
Greg Flowers Internet Sales Manager
Eight years ago a friend told me I should sell cars, so I welcomed the challenge. Over the next few years I learned every position possible in the Automobile Sales Department from lot guy to billing clerk, from auto detail to receptionist.
I currently hold the title of Internet Sales Manager and I also assist in our Finance Department. One might call me the "Go To Guy". I go home every day to my two girls 3 & 9 and I also have a daughter in college. When you add my fiancé to that group it's obvious that I am able to make no decisions at home. One of the many reasons I love my job, because here I can make a difference.
I started my career at a large Dealer Group where I was just another employee. It wasn't until my last two years with Shaker Auto Group did I see advancement, which is why I will never leave. When you visit Wellesley Mazda the guy greeting you could very well be the owner. The warmth and appreciation of your time will be the same and just like me, you will not want to leave.
Alex Sun Director of Marketing
Hi, my name is Alex and I have been working for the Shaker Auto Group for one year. I got my Master’s Degree in Marketing Analytics from Bentley University in summer 2008. I met Joe Shaker who is also a Bentley alumnus on a Mazda North American Marketing Research Project that he brought to Bentley. I was the project manger and we had a wonderful time working together on the new 2009 MAZDA6.
After graduated from Bentley I wanted to find a job in marketing and automobile industry, so I approached Joe and worked for him on a customer behavior research project and eventually, became a full time employee. My work at Wellesley Mazda is to provide you the most pleasant online shopping experience, and to add more value to your visit online and to our showroom.
I came from China in 2007 for my Master’s Degree. In my spare time I enjoyed playing basketball in a local league and hiking in the White Mountains. I have hiked 11 Northeastern state highpoints and my goal is to hike all the highpoints in the US.
