  • Her Grandfather Helped Build Chrysler, Now She's Leading the Industry | Katie Naughton
    Mar 24 2026

    In this episode of the Sensei Playbook, Katie Naughton shares her upbringing in an automotive family, including a grandfather who rose through Ford with Lee Iacocca and helped turn around Chrysler, and a father who ran Mike Naughton Ford for 47 years and modeled hard work, relationship selling, and customer-first service. Katie describes carving her own path, training through NADA Dealer Academy, then moving to Toronto at 32 to buy and operate a Kia dealership as part of the less-than-1% of female dealer principals, navigating intimidation in a male-dominated industry by reading the room and building allies. She explains shifting from a tough management style to employee-first leadership, removing toxic performers, and using culture standards like constant hospitality and "Cinderella doesn't have a bad day." After COVID border constraints, burnout, and selling both the family Ford store and later her Kia store, she joined DSMA to guide M&A and valuations, and founded Drive Her Forward to provide deeper, community-based leadership development for women.
