ATLANTA –

John Eriksen has been named general manager of Manheim Baltimore-Washington, bringing experience in both the sales and operations sides of Manehim.

Most recently, he served as assistant general manager of Manheim Orlando, where he held various leadership roles since joining the organization in 2007.

His new role represents a return to the region, as he previously worked as general sales manager for Manheim’s Mid-Atlantic region. 

"John’s backgrond and well-rounded perspective will be a valuable asset to our team,” said Matt Trapp, Manheim regional vice president, Northeast. “His intimate knowledge of our clients, and overall leadership qualities, marries well with our priorities and goals as an organization.”

“During the time I worked in the Mid-Atlantic region, I gained a great perspective of the diversity of our clients and the tremendous potential Manheim has to help dealer business grow in this area,” said Eriksen. "It is good to return to the Baltimore area and call it home once again.”

Eriksen received an associate degree from Santa Fe College and is working toward his bachelor’s degree in business administration.
