Krishnamoorthy joined AutoIMS in 2002 from Delta Airlines and had been serving as the auction technology software provider's chief operating officer in his most recent role. He has been active in the remarketing industry, serving as co-chair of an IARA committee.
"The KAR team congratulates Venkat on this well-deserved promotion," said Warren Byrd, an AutoIMS board member. "His deep knowledge about the company, the technology, and our industry positions Venkat perfectly to lead the next chapter of AASC."
