Gigi works closely with key team members at Olympian Motors, including Eren, the CEO and Chief Architect, and other department leads, contributing to the company’s goal of capturing 7% of the U.S. automotive market by 2030. Under Gigi’s leadership, the company has achieved significant reductions in tooling, machinery, fitment, and labor costs, and has notably faster production lead times compared to traditional automakers. This efficiency is part of Olympian Motors’ broader strategy to bring high-quality, aesthetically pleasing electric vehicles to market more quickly and sustainably.
