On October 20, the Sandy Springs/Perimeter Chamber of Commerce luncheon was held at the Westin Atlanta Perimeter North hotel. Mercedes-Benz USA President and CEO Steve Cannon answered questions from Jim Fitzpatrick, CEO of CBT Automotive Network, a Sandy Springs-based automotive industry news outlet. Cannon talked about the car industry and his own background, including service as a U.S. Army Ranger.
CBT provided a comedic video about the top 10 reasons for buying a Mercedes here, including use of “exclusive Mercedes HOV lane” and a self-driving car that would pilot itself to Sandy Springs’ forthcoming City Walk apartments.
Mercedes recently purchased naming rights to the new Falcons football stadium, but another, lesser-known corporate move was a donation to Hands On Atlanta, an umbrella organization of local charities.
Tamara Carrera, executive director of the Sandy Springs nonprofit Community Assistance Center, thanked Cannon for Mercedes’ recent donation of a van.
Community is paramount to Mercedes-Benz USA. “We’re finding ways to give back,” Cannon said.
