SEATTLE -

Auction Edge’s board announced Monday that Scott Finkle is taking on the role of company president. As the startup phase for the auction technology company is now finished, former chief executive officer David Weld — a start-up specialist — has left Auction Edge, the company said.

Finkle’s most recent post was as president of Auction Edge’s AuctionPipeline division.

“Scott has a proven track record of innovation and meeting the technology needs and expectations of the independent auctions,” said Bob McConkey, chairman of the board at Auction Edge.

“He knows this industry and has been responsible for the evolution of AuctionPipeline and its integration with Auction Edge since day one,” added McConkey.

In his new role leading Auction Edge, Finkle will be called to further develop its existing product line, and his duties also include prioritizing and managing new industry initiatives, the company noted.

 “I look forward to working with our auctions and ensuring that Auction Edge’s tools enhance their ability to be efficient, competitive and profitable,” Finkle said.
