ADESA announced Monday it has promoted a new executive director of dealer relations.

Ryan Warzynski, who has been with ADESA for more than a decade, has been chosen for the role.  

Warzynski, most recently national sales director, in his new position will manage all of ADESA’s dealer contact centers for vehicle inventory at the company’s auction locations across the country.

He will also continue to head up the local auction dealer relations teams throughout the U.S., as well as now managing the company’s national inside sales team located in the Carmel, Ind., office.

In his new position, Warzynski will report directly Keith Crerar, vice president of dealer services.  

“Ryan’s experience, great analytical skills and dealer relationships make him a perfect fit for this new role,” said Crerar. “Our dealers and our auctions will all benefit from having our overall ADESA contact strategy under one leader.”

Over his more than 10 years with the company, Warzynski began as a dealer sales representative, and has since held several roles in the different ADESA contact centers during the past decade, including district sales manager, regional sales manager and most recently national sales director.
