CARY, N.C. -

Julie Derybowski is not one to shy away from a challenge.

“Throughout my career I have been given challenging tasks to make the vehicle remarketing process faster, easier and more profitable. Although these assignments have been weighing, I am proud that top industry leaders entrusted me with these important responsibilities,” she said.

“After tackling and discovering solutions that resulted in better operations for our industry, I am braced with a new confidence and ready to solve the demanding tests that remain ahead.”

In her role as executive director of sales operations, Derybowski is responsible for building the customer service and operation teams that are tasked with supporting the expansion of TradeRev USA. She also partners with sales leadership to identify opportunities for sales process, improvements and reporting.

Derybowski got her start in the industry 12 years ago as a market research analyst.

“My two main responsibilities were to study industry trends and to help vehicle remarketers make profitable decisions by providing insights through market studies,” she said. “I am a detailed and data-driven person. Once I was able to use these skills to impact my business colleagues’ profitability, I was hooked.”

She considers her team to be a primary source of inspiration.

“I’ve been fortunate to work with experienced professionals who have a wealth of industry knowledge and have shared their transformative ideas with me. Every day is a chance to learn something new. I consider myself lucky to continually make these discoveries with such an exceptional team.

 “They are not afraid to try something new and disrupt the norm,” she continued. “The team lead by Keith Crerar, executive vice president of TradeRev USA, are forward thinkers that want to make the vehicle buying and selling experience easy and pain free all through a mobile app. I’m proud to be part of an organization that is changing the industry for the better.”
