ADESA promoted two executives Tuesday to the roles of vice president of business operations, effective immediately.

Rising to the positions are Doug Shore and Sanjiv Agrawal, who will both report directly to Paul Lips, executive vice president of operations and finance. 

ADESA noted Shore has held a number of corporate and auction leadership roles within the company since joining it in 1997 as an assistant controller.

Shore served as controller at ADESA Indianapolis, and was then named assistant general manager of the auction. In 2000, Shore joined ADESA Toronto as general manger. In 2001, he was named director of acquisition and then was again promoted in 2002 to vice president of operations. 

Most recently, Shore served as regional business manager of ADESA’s East region and Midwest region. Shore is active in the National Auto Auction Association and also serves on the International Automotive Remarketers Alliance Standards Committee. 

Meanwhile, ADESA highlighted Agrawal possesses more than 25 years of accounting and business experience. He’s served as controller at several companies in various industries. 

Prior to joining ADESA Los Angeles as the auction’s controller in 2003, Agrawal was the controller for the U.S. Western Distribution region for a worldwide distributor of automotive supplies, fasteners and chemicals and later became the controller for their entire U.S. operations.

Most recently, Agrawal served as regional business manager of ADESA’s Western region.

“Doug and Sanjiv have a knack for recognizing what our customers and our auctions need and delivering results,” stated ADESA president and chief executive officer Tom Caruso.

“Both have also been instrumental in working closely with the auctions as we standardize processes and share best practices to improve our customers’ auction experience,” Caruso added.
