Ollie Nugent

Ollie Nugent is Head of Consumer Product at carsales, where he leads the development of the consumer experience across researching, comparing and buying cars.

His work focuses on how millions of Australians navigate one of the biggest purchases of their lives, and how that behaviour translates into meaningful outcomes for buyers, dealers and the broader automotive marketplace. At carsales, Ollie is driving the evolution of the end-to-end buying experience, helping consumers move from early exploration through to confident decision-making.

This includes the development of AI-powered experiences that support buyers as they research, compare and refine their choices. Prior to carsales, Ollie held senior product leadership roles at Beam Mobility and iSeekplant, helping shape digital product development across mobility and marketplace platforms.

With a background spanning product, digital marketing and media, Ollie brings a practical understanding of how customer behaviour, technology and marketplace dynamics come together to drive performance at scale.

As a AADA 2026 Workshop Series Presenter, Ollie brings a consumer product perspective on how digital behaviour, AI and marketplace experience are shaping the future of automotive retail.
