Gabe Montano

As the Director of Marketing and IT at Mike Maroone Auto, Gabe Montano is one of the driving forces behind the dealership group’s success. He entered retail automotive 14 years ago as a lot tech at Larry Miller Nissan, inspired by his father’s successful career in the car business. What began as a summer job became a full-time career. Montano has gained experience across dealership operations, including inventory management, merchandising, syndication, data analysis, and digital retailing. His achievements include expanding online marketing capabilities, refining SEO, developing social media strategy for automotive retail, and bringing separate departments together to improve support across the group. A proud career milestone was joining the Mike Maroone Auto leadership team. Entrusted with launching and growing a new automotive retail brand in Colorado, he built a strong team and helped lead the new storefront to success. Montano aims to challenge the status quo and help shape the future of automotive retail. He believes digital tools can improve how dealerships operate and how they serve customers.
