Ottawa born and raised! I attended St. Pius high school and Carleton University before making my way into the world of sales -- The Bay, Futureshop, Bell Mobility and Sensus Communications are all on my resume. An opportunity to work in the auto industry was perfect for someone who has always loved cars and has owned twelve different vehicles in his driving life! Outside of work I am an avid sports fan, frequenting Ottawa Senators games and of course the Ottawa RedBlacks too. You might also find me at my family cottage on the big Rideau Lake swimming, canoeing or even sailing!Ottawa born and raised!

Lincoln Concierge

I started out in Montreal and ended up in Ottawa at the age of 9. Shortly after, my father, Charles T Foley, took on, the role of being the first manager of the Kingsway Golf on the Mountain Road, Quebec. One of two golf courses owned by my mother’s family at the time. My formal education took place at Ottawa’s Algonquin College culminating in a certificate under 3 Year Business Administration/ Marketing. With several years of experience in the automotive industry in payroll, inventory accounts payable, and most recently as a service appointment coordinator I am excited about my newest adventure as your new Lincoln Concierge. My role is to ensure all Donnelly Lincoln customers have an effortless experience and maybe experience some unexpected surprise and delight. Please do not hesitate in reaching out to me.

Training and Business Development Manager

I was born and raised in Toronto and yes, I’m a Maple Leafs fan… please don’t hold that against me! I graduated from the University of Waterloo in 2005 and have enjoyed an excellent career in the finance world. I have always been a fan of the auto business and more recently this group for one main reason. Our vision at Donnelly’s is, “The Donnelly Automotive Group is a fully engaged team of professionals working together to create a truly exceptional customer and employee experience”. This team has a clear focus on the customer and employee experience. From my knowledge gained in the banking world, I know that customer and employee experience mean everything! That said, my family and I have moved to Ottawa to join the Donnelly team! We could not be happier to raise our three children in Ottawa and plant our roots. Outside of the office you can find me spending time with my family and cycling in the summer / snowboarding in the winter!

A day without laughter is a day wasted! This sums up how I feel about many things, including my automotive career. Prior to joining the Donnelly's in 1989 I owned a restaurant in Quebec and learned I loved working with the public. Who knew when I responded to a salesperson ad in the newspaper I would end up being here this long, and work my way up to the position of General Sales Manager? I've worked with all the franchises the Donnelly's own, groomed many staff, but most importantly I’ve realized we don’t sell cars, the reality of our business is that we establish relationships for life. Whenever I’m in any of the dealerships, I find myself greeting customers that I've known for nearly 20 years. My love for soccer must come from my home city of Lisbon, Portugal where my favorite team, Benfica, plays. When I’m not at work and not watching soccer, my passion is skiing and snowboarding with my family. I am happy to serve you in English, French, Portuguese, Italian, and SpanishA day without laughter is a day wasted! This sums up how I feel about many things, including my automotive career.

Dealer Principal

There is a great expression, “find a job you like and you will never have to work a day in your life.” For me, I found that job in the car industry. I joined the Donnelly Automotive Group over 29-years-ago and was welcomed by the Donnelly’s as a business partner in 1997. Donnelly Lincoln prides itself as one of the top retailers of Lincolns in Ottawa and leaders in Customer Satisfaction. I am very proud of the professional teams at all of our dealerships. They live by our Vision Statement: “Donnelly Lincoln is a fully engaged team of professionals working together to create a truly exceptional Customer Experience.” I look forward to “working” the next 20 years. Outside of my job, I enjoy watching my four adult children grow up. I love to run, play squash, ski (both downhill and Nordic), and attempt to play golf.There is a great expression, “find a job you like and you will never have to work a day in your life.” For me, I found that job in the car industry.
