Krissi Holt is Kubota’s aftersales dealer manager for agricultural, groundcare and construction equipment. With 10 years of industry experience – the last six with a Kubota groundcare dealer – Krissi’s role is to support the dealer network across the East and South East of England.
“Working directly for a high-profile manufacturer is the career progression I sought, and with Kubota, this opens up many more possibilities beyond working solely within the groundcare sector,” said Krissi. “I am very passionate about the products, and I’d also describe myself as a people person.”
Krissi had previously been a service manager within the Kubota dealer network before progressing to a dealership pre-delivery inspection centre as a key account manager.
“Having worked in a dealership, I have a thorough understanding of the challenges that dealers face,” said Krissi. “And that past experience certainly helps in my role as an aftersales dealer manager, to support their businesses.”
Reflecting on her career experiences, Krissi says she would encourage other females to consider joining the sector.
“There have been challenges for me as a female working in a male-dominated industry,” said Krissi. “And while it has been tough, it has also been very rewarding – and the job continues to deliver. It’s about being able to connect with people, and build long-standing business relationships.”
Away from the job, Krissi’s hobbies include baking and walking in the countryside – the latter is mostly accompanied with her dog, Bella.
