At the core of these values, we believe that Edmunds thrives when we trust and empower our employees in the same way that we, as a company, look to empower car shoppers. We empower our employees with an engaging environment, a flexible, hybrid work setting and access to the tools and resources they need to innovate. As a result, we see our team members growing in their careers, thinking creatively, and working together toward our shared goals.

Edmunds President Seth Berkowitz relishes the opportunity to purchase a new car, and this fascination underscores his vision of turning Edmunds into the best and most seamless digital marketplace for car buying and selling. Berkowitz understands that car shopping marketplaces like Edmunds have a responsibility to provide a high level of transparency for shoppers, including accurate price estimates and appraisal values, as well as unbiased vehicle rankings. Berkowitz ensures transparency is also at the heart of his leadership approach with an authentic communication style that filters down through the rest of the leadership team and the organization at-large.
