OUR TEAM

Augusto started his automotive career back in 1997 at a local Essendon dealership as a Sales Executive. He has worked up the ranks and held senior appointments including General Manager of more than six luxury European brands.

Being a local boy, he values working in his local surroundings of Essendon and appreciates the family community feel that Essendon Volkswagen holds. His experience in super luxury cars has brought a clear direction to the Essendon Volkswagen business, that is, "Provide the customer with the most premium experience, to make them want to come back to do business again and again". He strongly believes that by looking after his team, the team, in turn, will look after the valued customer.

“The right Team & Family culture is paramount to our success in being the most Premium Volkswagen dealer in the country”

Adrian's outstanding leadership skills show up throughout the sales team: they all reflect his enthusiasm, care, and Volkswagen knowledge. You'll appreciate their patience, attention to detail, and thorough understanding of each and every vehicle on the lot.

Adrian has been in the automotive industry since 2002, much of that with Volkswagen. His familiarity with and love for the brand shines through for every person he works with, and he is skilled at creating a positive experience, not only for our customers, but also for his entire sales team. You'll enjoy the selection and purchasing process because the people who are helping you enjoy it, too! Adrian is equally concerned with getting drivers into the right vehicles as he is with ensuring his team is happy and thriving. Because he has made this a priority, he has developed a close-knit team who support each other professionally and personally.

In his free time, Adrian enjoys spending time with his family, exercising, and travelling.
