Overview

Dorothy leads the Retail Credit team at Mercedes-Benz Financial Services Australia, leveraging over a decade of dedicated experience in the auto finance industry. A graduate of Monash University, she has progressed through several roles within the company, now guiding a team that approves thousands of luxury vehicle loans each year.
