Jean-Louis Baldanza joins Broad Arrow as a consultant for France after nearly 20 years in the industry and over 10 in his current region. His passion for cars started early having grown up in the United Kingdom immersed in the classic & pre-war car culture from a young age and it was only natural to pursue a career in the automotive industry. He spent 10 years at McLaren Automotive, having been involved in both the conceptualisation of products and commercialisation of the brand as a product manager for the new car company. In 2012, he moved to his current residence in the Cote d’Azur to manage the Southern European region for the constructor. Since then, Jean-Louis has also worked for some of the most prestigious automotive brands managing official retailers in both Cannes and Monaco and more recently set up his own consulting and sales business, finding pleasure in selling collector cars from the foothills of the Route Napoleon.

Although very well versed with the more modern era of collector cars, Jean-Louis has a profound understanding and appreciation of cars from all generations. He strongly believes in the romance we all share with our cars and the ability in communicating passionately each unique story is the key to finding the right new owner.

A husband & father, Jean-Louis resides and works from the French Riviera but frequently travels through Southern Europe to meet clients and view cars. When blessed with some free time, he can be found exploring the fantastic roads close to him, disrupting the nature with his rather special 2004 Honda NSX accompanied by his trusty Leica camera and a smile. He speaks English, French, Italian and Spanish.
