Manheim has named four new general managers for its operating locations in Omaha, Houston, Nashville, and Philadelphia, the comapny announced this week.
Together, they represent six decades of combined experience working closely with Manheim’s clients and teams.

Lincoln Hansen has been promoted to general manager of Manheim Omaha. Hansen began his career at Manheim Detroit as a vehicle entry manager before rising to senior recon manager overseeing Retail Reconditioning.

Since 2023, Hansen has served as assistant general manager of Manheim Phoenix overseeing dealer services and commercial accounts.

Hanson began his Manheim career in lot operations in 2005 and has advanced to various roles spanning nearly two decades including lot supervisor, senior operations manager and, most recently, assistant general manager of operations in the Dallas Market Center. He has been integral in the development of several applications and committees created by the operational excellence teams including EV safety training and battery testing and recently was recognized as their first Flow Master, a designation of mastery in key capabilities such as creating and leading continuous improvement efforts.
