Formerly employed by Dropbox as director of EMEA core enterprise sales, Harris (pictured) previously led UK mid-market sales at AdRoll, a digital advertising and re-targeting SaaS business, and worked in content marketing at Facebook in Dublin. 

Prior to this, she spent 11 years as a European and US shares trader at Goldman Sachs.

Harris said: “The technical innovation that CarGurus brings to digital automotive retail drives exceptional value for dealers, and I look forward to forging strong relationships with our customers as we continue to build our business in Europe.”

CarGuru’s chief operations officer Sam Zales said: “Wendy is an experienced sales leader with an impressive track record of driving sales growth and developing high-performance sales teams.

“CarGurus is now the most visited online automotive marketplace in the United States, and we are building our presence in Europe.

"Not only do we provide a trusted and transparent shopping experience for consumers, we also deliver exceptional value for dealers through our customer acquisition marketing products.

“Wendy will help us build on the success we’ve had to date and guide our European sales operations going forward.”
