ATLANTA -

Manheim announced this week the new job titles adopted by three of its leadership staff. Dianne Earley is now vice president, sales operations; Matt Trapp takes on the role of market vice president for the Mid-Atlantic Region; and JD Daniels now serves as general manager at Manheim Phoenix.

Earley, formerly the market vice president for the Mid-Atlantic Region, started her new position in August and now reports to Tim McKinley, the senior vice president of sales for Manheim North America.

“Dianne provides leadership and direction for a team of sales operations managers and directors responsible for strategy analytics, sales effectiveness, customer relations and inside sales,” McKinley said. “She enables us to be more effective in our daily interactions and will help us increase both customer volume and revenue.”

Trapp, moving from his former position as senior director of adjacent growth, will fill Earley’s past position, where he will report to Mike McKinney, regional vice president, east region operations.

“A key part of motivating talent and providing solid customer experience is to have the right leaders in place,” McKinney said. “Matt’s innovative thinking and cross-functional business sense make him an ideal fit for this key role.”

Daniels takes on the role of general manager at Manheim Phoenix after spending several years as general manager of Manheim Detroit.

“JD has built very strong relationships with customers,” McKinney said, “and Manheim Phoenix will benefit from his leadership and experience.”
