Fritz Jean
Finance Manager- Fluent in French and Creole
Beginning my Sales Career in 2002, I started as a Sales Consultant with Toyota and then moved to the Baon Auto Mall where I was promoted to Sales Manager. In 2004, I decided to join the Competition Automotive Group as a Sales Consultant at Competition INFINITI of Smithtown. Proving my dedication to the Group and the brand, I was a Sales Consultant at Competition INFINITI from 2004 to 2017.
In October of 2017, the Management Team for the Competition Automotive Group accepted my request to become a Sales Consultant at Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown. As a Sales Consultant for over three years, I learned a tremendous amount about the Mercedes-Benz Brand and met so many wonderful customers. So, when the Finance Manager position became available, I immediately knew it was the perfect next step for me. It is so great to work for an Automotive Group that promotes from within. I am very excited to continuing assisting customers with purchasing or leasing the Mercedes-Benz of their dreams.
Whenever I am not spending time with my sons Philip and Nathan, I love travelling and go out to eat with friends.
My Favorite Mercedes-Benz vehicle is the New GLE 53 Coupe. I can’t wait to lease one when my lease is up on my C 43 Sedan.
