FRANKLIN, Tenn. -

TPC Management Co., an automotive industry consulting and executive recruiting firm now in its 21st year in business, announced on Wednesday the promotion of Jiles Wanna to the position of vice president of client services. 

Wanna joined TPC in 2004 and has worked on projects under all three umbrellas of the firm, including TPC Consulting & Recruiting, Auction Academy and ServNet Auctions.

“Since joining our firm 13 years ago, Jiles has become an invaluable member of our team,” TPC vice president and co-founder Pauline Pons said. “He has worked through each and every discipline by which we provide services to our clients, expanding his industry knowledge and excelling in his effectiveness for our customer base.”

In 2012, Wanna completed the course requirements to become a Certified Automotive Remarketer (CAR) in the program initiated by the International Automotive Remarketers Alliance. Previous to his CAR certification, he completed the Vehicle Remarketing Industry Certification through the IARA/ Northwood University program as well as Manheim’s Condition Report Writer Certification, and is currently enrolled in additional college curriculums.

“We are incredibly proud to move Jiles into the executive ranks within our firm, recognition long overdue as his efforts have been extremely well received by both the clients we service and our larger industry partners,” TPC president Pierre Pons said. “There has never been a task too big or too small for him not to throw in 110-percent effort.

“We know he will continue to play a significant role in our firm’s growth and success as he works with our clients to help them expand their business opportunities and industry relationships,” Pierre Pons added.

TPC provides industry consulting to over 50 Independent auto auctions across the country as well as corporate administrative management to ServNet Auctions. TPC also specializes in management recruiting across automotive disciplines and advises parties on industry business divestitures and acquisitions.

“I want to thank Pierre and Pauline for affording me the opportunity to enter the vehicle remarketing industry,” Wanna said. “Every assignment has been a great experience, and I look forward to contributing to the success not only of TPC but to that of the clients we serve.”
