On The Drive

Ep. 64 - From Fate To Ferrari: Christy Cartaya’s Drive Into Luxury Automotive

Cindy Lawrence

This week on On The Drive with Cindy Lawrence, we sit down with Christy Cartaya, Vice President of Marketing and Brand Management at The Collection in Miami. Christy shares her unexpected journey from the fast-paced world of marketing into the elite tier of automotive retail—where brands like Ferrari, Audi, Porsche, and McLaren are part of her daily landscape.

What started as a twist of fate turned into a remarkable career, and today, Christy leads a powerhouse team at one of the most prestigious dealership groups in the country. Join us as we talk career shifts, leadership, luxury branding, and why a visit to The Collection isn’t complete without stopping by Michelin-rated Bachour for a sweet indulgence.

From marketing mastery to showroom sophistication—this episode is as refined as the cars Christy helps bring to life. Don’t miss it!
