SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -

Quantum5, a company that provides a "social advocacy learning platform" to provide training on the people skills and behavioral strategies that the digital environment demands, said Monday it has hired fixed ops specialist Dave Foy and is acquiring his Fixed Ops Mastermind and Vision and Values Coaching brands.

Foy’s 30-plus years in the industry includes time as service manager at Acura of Boston and other stores, fixed ops director at 24 Auto Group, service/parts director at Prime Motor Group and his most recent role as head creator, coach and podcaster at Fixed Ops Mastermind.

“Dave embodies all of the elements we value at Quantum5. He’s innovative, forward thinking, truly cares about making the industry better through his expertise, and is also just a good person,” Quantum5 co-founder and chief executive officer David O’Brien said in a news release. “As a coach himself, Dave understood immediately the value Quantum5 can bring to an organization and why it’s time to bring personal selling skills back to retail automotive. We look forward to his leadership, strategy and vision as he takes on a critical executive role on our team.”

Foy added: “As soon as I saw what Quantum5 was building, from the relational skills-based training, to the back-end gamification element to the community tie-ins, I was hooked. I knew I was looking at the next evolution of fixed operation training.

“Add to that the ability to bring my Mastermind brands over with me and train those in my coaching and master classes on these next level skills and it’s a win-win. I’m honored to be a part of the Quantum5 team.”
