CARMEL, Ind. — Auction and remarketing services provider ADESA (div. KAR Auction Services Inc.) announced that Brenda Aden has been named general manager of ADESA Brasher’s, located near Sacramento.
“Brenda has extensive experience in auction operations, employee development, and customer service — serving as an example to those on her team and a true advocate for our customers,” said Srisu Subrahmanyam, COO of ADESA. “During her more than 20 years in the industry, she has worked in nearly every aspect of the auction business, established strong industry relationships, and fostered a customer experience-focused culture.”
Aden has been the general manager at ADESA Las Vegas since 2016, and during her tenure the auction was honored as a “Best Auto Auction to Work For” by Auto Remarketing and earned numerous company awards. In July, Aden was recognized as one of Auto Remarketing’s "Power 300" for 2018.
Aden began her auto auction career as a block clerk in Denver and quickly took on responsibilities within the front office and floor planning departments. She transitioned into managerial roles at locations in Orlando and Las Vegas. She became an assistant general manager during the opening of Premier’s Las Vegas Auction. Aden joined ADESA in 2010 and played a key role in opening the ADESA Las Vegas facility in 2011.
