Appointment Strengthens the company\u2019s focus on AI infrastructure supports dealership operations.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Austin, TX \u2014March 17, 2026<\/b> \u2014 BlinkAI Inc., a provider of AI-powered customer engagement infrastructure for automotive dealerships, today announced the appointment of <\/span>Alissa Degreef<\/b> as Vice President of Marketing. The move strengthens the company\u2019s leadership team as BlinkAI continues expanding its platform capabilities and market presence across the automotive retail ecosystem.<\/span> <\/p>\n

As AI adoption accelerates across automotive retail, dealerships and dealer groups are increasingly seeking technology partners that deliver measurable operational impact. BlinkAI\u2019s investment in strategic marketing leadership reflects the company\u2019s focus on clarifying how AI-powered engagement infrastructure supports modern dealership operations.<\/span> <\/p>\n

BlinkAI\u2019s platform connects inbound customer interactions, service scheduling, telematics alerts, and AI-driven outreach into a unified system designed to help dealerships capture service demand, improve responsiveness, and scale operational performance across multi-store dealer groups.<\/span> <\/p>\n

\u201cAI is everywhere in automotive right now, but clarity is not,\u201d said Dave Perry, CEO of BlinkAI. \u201cDealers are being flooded with point solutions and competing narratives. Our focus is building the infrastructure that powers modern customer engagement across the dealership. Alissa\u2019s leadership will help ensure the market clearly understands what Blink AI is building and why it matters.\u201d<\/span> <\/p>\n

Degreef brings more than a decade of SaaS marketing experience, including four years focused on the automotive technology sector, where she has led brand positioning, demand generation, and go-to-market strategy for dealership technology platforms.<\/span> <\/p>\n

\u201cAutomotive is one of the most fascinating industries in technology,\u201d said Degreef. \u201cBlinkAI is helping define what the next generation of dealership technology should look like. I\u2019m excited to help translate that innovation into a clear story for dealers navigating the rapidly evolving AI landscape.\u201d<\/span> <\/p>\n

In her role, Degreef will lead brand, demand generation, and strategic positioning initiatives as Blink AI continues expanding its platform capabilities and engagement across dealerships, dealer groups, and industry partners.<\/span> <\/p>\n
