CHRISTY SPOONER

Christy Spooner is a longtime automotive professional, community engagement leader, and emerging nonprofit professional whose career has increasingly centered on bringing people, purpose, and business together.

For more than a decade, she has been part of RBM of Alpharetta and the Mercedes-Benz brand, building her career around customer experience, relationship management, and brand representation. As a MB Master Certified professional, she spent years ensuring that customers experienced the level of service, attention, and hospitality expected from a luxury automotive organization. From 2019 through 2026, she helped lead RBM of Alpharetta’s Mercedes-Benz Experience Center at Halcyon, where her work extended beyond traditional automotive retail into community relationships, events, and brand engagement.

That experience ultimately helped shape the next chapter of her career: developing RBM Automotive Group’s philanthropic and community engagement efforts.

Christy is leading the development of RBM Driven to Serve, an initiative designed to create a thoughtful, organized approach to corporate philanthropy across the RBM Automotive Group. Her goal is not simply to write checks or sponsor events, but to build meaningful partnerships between RBM, its employees, customers, and the communities the company serves.

Her work focuses on causes including women and children, hunger and food insecurity, homelessness and housing, autism, education and literacy, veterans and military families, mental health, and LGBTQIA+ support. She has developed strategies ranging from simple in-dealership micro-volunteering opportunities to larger employee volunteer events, donation drives, nonprofit partnerships, sponsorships, and community campaigns.

Christy approaches philanthropy with the same operational mindset she developed during her automotive career. She believes community engagement should be compassionate but also organized, measurable, sustainable, and aligned with the company’s values. She is building those systems while working toward the longer-term goal of establishing a private charitable foundation for RBM Automotive Group.

At the center of Christy’s work is a belief that corporate philanthropy should feel personal. Employees should have opportunities to participate without feeling pressured, nonprofit organizations should be treated as genuine partners, and community involvement should accomplish more than generating publicity. At the same time, she understands that a successful corporate program must demonstrate its value through measurable results, strong storytelling, and responsible use of company resources.

As she moves into this next phase of her career, Christy is combining 20+ years of luxury automotive experience with a growing expertise in philanthropy and nonprofit leadership. Her focus is straightforward: build something lasting… a community engagement program that employees are proud to participate in, nonprofit partners value, and RBM Automotive Group can proudly call its own.
