Austin, TX —March 17, 2026 — BlinkAI Inc., a provider of AI-powered customer engagement infrastructure for automotive dealerships, today announced the appointment of Alissa Degreef as Vice President of Marketing. The move strengthens the company’s leadership team as BlinkAI continues expanding its platform capabilities and market presence across the automotive retail ecosystem.
As AI adoption accelerates across automotive retail, dealerships and dealer groups are increasingly seeking technology partners that deliver measurable operational impact. BlinkAI’s investment in strategic marketing leadership reflects the company’s focus on clarifying how AI-powered engagement infrastructure supports modern dealership operations.
BlinkAI’s 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.
“AI is everywhere in automotive right now, but clarity is not,” said Dave Perry, CEO of BlinkAI. “Dealers are being flooded with point solutions and competing narratives. Our focus is building the infrastructure that powers modern customer engagement across the dealership. Alissa’s leadership will help ensure the market clearly understands what Blink AI is building and why it matters.”
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.
