Lars is one of the most knowledgable and capable people I’ve met in my career when it come to Car Washes.

Paula Thomas

Founder & CEO of “Let’s Talk Loyalty” – A Podcast & Platform for Loyalty Marketing Professionals

I have met Lars now on a couple of occasions as I researched, read, recorded and published articles and podcasts about driving customer loyalty, and I can honestly say that Lars was one of the most knowledgeable, insightful and helpful marketing people I met.

As a business leader, he understands the complexity of global cultural challenges and how customer loyalty solutions need to be planned globally, but implemented locally.

Many brands experiment with subscription models but few have the leadership skills needed to implement at such a scale as Lars, and very few have managed to deliver such a successful initiative as he has done for Circle K in their Car Wash category which was ripe for innovation!
