THE BOSS!
Don’t let the calm demeanor fool you — Sierra Flippo is the operational engine behind the success of the companies under Iron Gate Capital. As Director of Operations, Sierra plays a critical role in keeping every moving piece aligned, organized, and functioning at a high level across all departments and companies.
Born and raised in Billings, Montana, Sierra joined the organization nearly four years ago and has grown into one of the most important leaders within our group. What started as an opportunity in the automotive industry quickly evolved into a passion for operations, accounting, organization, and team development. Today, she serves as the backbone for more than 18 employees across all our organizations, helping oversee the systems, communication, structure, and backend processes that keep the companies operating efficiently.
Known for her exceptional organization and personable leadership style, Sierra specializes in accounting and bookkeeping while also managing the behind-the-scenes coordination that most customers never see — but always benefit from. Her ability to create structure, solve problems, and support every department has made her the “glue” that holds the organization together.
At Sapphire Automotive, Sierra believes customer experience starts long before paperwork is signed. She takes pride in helping customers feel comfortable, informed, and stress-free throughout the buying process while ensuring the team delivers a level of service that brings customers back for years to come.
Internally, Sierra is passionate about building a culture rooted in communication, encouragement, accountability, and appreciation for every individual’s role within the company. She believes that as the organization grows, so do the opportunities for everyone involved — and that mindset has helped shape the strong foundation behind the continued expansion of the Iron Gate Capital family of companies.
Outside of work, Sierra enjoys spending time outdoors, working out, shopping, and planning future adventures — including a dream road trip through every national park in the country. She’s an SUV enthusiast with a love for the Porsche Cayenne and runs best on a brown sugar oat milk shaken espresso with peppermint cold foam.
