TPC Management Company has made two executive appointments, promoting Penny Wanna to the post of president of Auction Academy, and Jiles Wanna as vice president client services of TPC.  

Both employees have been with the company for more than 10 years, and have served in senior management positions prior to their recent promotions. 

"Without a doubt, Penny is the heart and soul of Auction Academy, a fact which can be attested to by all four class groups that have graduated to date as well as all the speakers and sponsors who have supported the program," said Pierre Pons, CEO and co-founder of Auction Academy. "Penny believed strongly in the Auction Academy from the early days of its inception, and many sessions have been successful because of her determination and sheer force of will."

Along with her new responsibilities, Penny Wanna will also continue with her duties as vice president of administration for TPC Management Company (TPC) and ServNet Auctions.

"From the beginning our goal has been to bring a professional, top-level training experience to the auto auction industry," said Wanna. "It has been a pleasure to work with the academy’s first class group, made up of the sons and daughters of some of the best independent auto auctions in the country, and subsequently with professionals from all corners of the industry."

Jiles Wanna, who previously served as director of business development at TPC prior to this promotion, has been named vice president client services. 

“Since joining our firm 13 years ago, Jiles has become an invaluable member of our team.  He has worked through each and every discipline by which we provide services to our clients, expanding his industry knowledge and excelling in his effectiveness for our customer base,” said Pauline Pons, TPC vice president and co-founder.
