ADESA has created a new role to direct and activate the team that develops relationships with its large-scale buyers and sellers.
The title is VP of major dealer accounts, and Scott Drehs will helm that new title.
Drehs is a 30-year automotive industry veteran who joined the KAR family as VP of credit services at AFC in November 2004. He first began working in the automotive finance industry in 1989.
In his new position, his team will work with dealers to implement ADESA's offerings into their workflows.
