The 2023 recipient was Soledad Romero, Store Manager, Romeoville Toyota. Soledad started in an entry-level position at the dealership during the pandemic. She demonstrated her excellence as a leader and a human being with compassion, pride, integrity and discipline to achieve results, since she has climbed her way up to the top of management. Romero didn’t have any automotive experience when joining the team just two years ago. She leads by example and is willing to help with any department in the dealership. Her team says she handles it all with grace and compassion while leading her team. “It has been such an honorable moment in my career, to have been recognized and presented with the Best Retailer Award,” stated Romero. “To have been classified under a category such as ‘Influential Woman in Automotive’ has been an incredible experience. Let’s continue to support and stand strong behind empowering women who share the same passion for retail in automotive.” 2023 Best Retailer finalists included: Gabrielle Abinion, General Manager, Fox Valley Volkswagen; Soledad Romero, Store Manager, Romeoville Toyota; and Carly Weck, Finance Manager, Elgin Kia.
