“This has long been a male-dominated industry, but women have proven that we have an important role in its future success,” Eleanor Gulla says
New York—The Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association (GNYADA) has announced the appointment of Eleanor Gulla as its new chairwoman. Gulla, an accomplished automotive executive, community leader, and advocate for the next generation of dealers, brings industry experience and a lifelong dedication to her family’s legacy.
“This has long been a male-dominated industry, but women have proven that we have an important role in its future success,” she said. “I’m so proud to be part of this exclusive group.”
A board member of GNYADA since 2018, Gulla has served as vice chairwoman and chair of the Employee Relations Plan Committee. She was a key member of an ad hoc committee to address the growing challenges around direct sales and broker practices.
In addition to her role with GNYADA, Gulla is a founding member of Next Gen – National Automotive Dealers Association, an organization that mentors and prepares the next generation of automotive dealers and general managers through education, advocacy, and networking.
Gulla is managing partner at Larchmont Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM, a family-owned dealership founded by her father, Alfredo Gulla, who immigrated from Catanzaro, Italy, in the 1950s. She has overseen operations since 1992 and also works closely with the dealership’s related business, Alfa Romeo of Larchmont.
Under her leadership, Larchmont Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM has received numerous customer satisfaction commendations for exceptional sales and service experiences, including the JD Power Customer First Award for Excellence every year since 2019.
Recently, she joined hundreds of fellow dealers at the NADA Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C., where she met with Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Representative Grace Meng, Representative Nicole Malliotakis, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Transportation staff, along with House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, to discuss key federal issues impacting the retail automotive industry.
