Joe Gillespie

My professional journey started at age 21 as a real estate investor and business owner, quickly realizing a passion for entrepreneurship. This passion has led me through a diverse career, including a partnership with a commercial real estate company where I expanded new development opportunities and then owner of a successful Chicagoland car dealership. After realizing the need for a different kind of dealership website experience, I knew it was time to take another risk and dive into a new career. Dealer eProcess started as a small website company and has now grown into one of the leading industry options for dealerships, with customers throughout North America. I am proud of my role as Chief Executive Officer, having experienced many challenges and rewarding moments since that first day. Through each industry, and every role I've had, I've sought to work with people who share the same core values: -Believe in themselves -Goal orientated -Always ready to learn I’ve not been on this path alone. “One good mentor could be more informative than a college education and more valuable than a decade of income.” This quote resonates with me as I’ve been fortunate enough to have some of the best mentors guiding me through all of my different roles. I currently enjoy helping young entrepreneurs identify their goals and overcome the obstacles needed to become successful business owners.
