"The dealer development managers in Audrey's region will benefit greatly from her experience," said Mark NeSmith, DMP’s vice president of sales.

Her security and sales knowledge, coupled with her experience as a sales coach, make Audrey the perfect person to support the DMP dealer development managers in the western region."

Pierson joined the organization in 2009 as the regional sales manager for Northern California, Northern Nevada, and Utah, building on her lifelong career in sales.

She's been honored with awards for sales excellence, and holds leadership positions in a number of organizations, including serving as president of the Monterey County Rape Crisis Center and is past president of the Professional Women's Network of the Monterey Peninsula.
