Karen Sutton-Ford began her professional career at IBM, but her passion for the automotive industry ultimately led her to Toyota Motor Sales. After earning her One-Year Accelerated MBA from Emory University, Karen returned home to join her family’s automotive business.
She began in the fleet department, where she enhanced the team and helped grow the operation before expanding her experience across other areas of the dealership. In 2020, Karen graduated from the NADA Dealer Academy and later that year became Dealer Principal of Sutton Ford.
Today, Karen serves as President and Dealer Principal of Sutton Ford, continuing to grow the business while carrying forward her family’s legacy in the automotive industry.
