Leroy Lynn works with automotive companies on the data that prices, finances, and moves vehicles.

Led by Bradley W. Smith, formerly Vice President, Product Management, Experian Automotive.

The typical brief

The typical brief is specific. A feed will not ship. A loyalty or share measure does not match the way the client sells. Credit and identity files are in the stack and no one owns the product. A board has been asked about AI, or about settlement rails, and needs an operator’s view—not a tour of the category.

Bradley W. Smith led those products at Experian Automotive and at R.L. Polk & Co. The firm is the practice around that work.
