Armen Armenakian Named General Manager of Jim Ellis Ford Sandy Springs

Jim Ellis Automotive Group is pleased to announce Armen Armenakian as the new general manager of Jim Ellis Ford Sandy Springs. Armen brings a wealth of experience and leadership to the role, having worked in the automotive industry since 2017.

Armen began his automotive career at Angel Krause Ford, where he honed his skills in dealership operations before joining Jim Ellis Automotive in February 2023 as part of the Jim Ellis Cadillac team. Now, as the leader of Jim Ellis Ford Sandy Springs, Armen is focused on building a strong team that will not only stand out within the Ford brand, but also within the Jim Ellis organization. He believes in fostering a positive store culture and is committed to developing a team that upholds the highest standards of excellence in customer service and performance.

A Georgia native, Armen graduated from Collins Hill High School in 2007. He later attended Georgia State University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a minor in chemistry.
Armen’s passion for cars started with his first vehicle, a red-on-tan 2000 Chevrolet Impala, which he humorously describes as “inside peanut butter, outside jelly.” His appreciation for vehicles continues today, and his favorite model sold at Jim Ellis Ford Sandy Springs is the iconic Ford F-150. As the best-selling truck in America, the F-150 holds a special place for Armen as it was his first major purchase in 2007.

Outside of work, Armen enjoys traveling with his wife, playing soccer and unwinding with a good game of chess.

Please join us in congratulating Armen Armenakian on his promotion to general manager of Jim Ellis Ford Sandy Springs!
