CARMEL, Ind. — ADESA (div. KAR Auction Services Inc.) announced the appointment of new general managers at three auction locations: Brian Wong at ADESA Flint (Mich.), Mark Melton at ADESA Las Vegas, and Eric Carpenter at ADESA Colorado Springs (Colo.).
“We’re especially pleased with this group of new auction leaders because it demonstrates both our deep bench strength and our appeal to outside candidates,” said Srisu Subrahmanyam, chief operating officer at ADESA. “Brian has built a stellar reputation while moving up the ladder at ADESA Flint, Mark has been an outstanding addition to our general manager ranks since joining ADESA in 2016, and Eric was drawn to our vibrant, growing organization by our commitment to continuously enhance the customer experience.”
Wong, previously the assistant general manager at ADESA Flint, has also served at that location as general sales manager and outside sales representative. Prior to joining ADESA, he worked at Fiat Chrysler in international product planning and brand operations and at Ford Motor Co. in marketing, sales, and services.
