“Buyer relationships, research and monitoring of market conditions were a major element of my previous role, and I built a vast knowledge of buyer segmentation during different market conditions. I intend to share my wealth of industry knowledge, energy and drive, to strengthen and grow our remarketing position within the dealer part exchange and electric vehicle domain,” she said.
