Dan Macuga
Chief Executive Officer
Scaled a public company from $350M to $1.2B across 25 countries. Chrysler dealer-network operator.
Dan has already done — at scale — what dealer groups, OEMs, and PE operators hire us to do: turn a credible product into measurable enterprise value, dealership by dealership.
As CMO of a publicly traded multi-billion-dollar company for nearly two decades, he scaled revenue from $350M to $1.2B across 25 markets, built a 4,500-person field force influencing 63% of buying decisions, and moved NPS from 15 to 70.
His operating foundation is automotive retail. At Chrysler he worked retail marketing, dealer relations, and operations across Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep — service lanes, reconditioning, F&I, CSI. The same workflows Estimatics is built around.
Through DM Executive Consulting he advises founder-CEOs and PE operators preparing for capital events — surfacing structural constraints and naming the three to five moves that actually change valuation.
