CARY, N.C. -

Auto Remarketing announced this morning its first-ever National Remarketing Executive of the Year, presented by ServNet, and earning this inaugural distinction is Dan Kennedy, manager of GM Remarketing.

Kennedy has been with General Motors since 1978, spending the past 27 years with the automaker’s remarketing organization.  He became manager of GM Remarketing in 2010, where he leads the company’s U.S. remarketing activities.

His work has also included time as finance manager for GM Fleet operations, and serving as special project manager for GM’s fleet distribution staff.

“ServNet Auctions are proud to sponsor the National Remarketing Executive of the Year award to be presented at the upcoming National Remarketing Conference in San Diego,” said Patty Stanley, president of ServNet Auctions.

“As the inaugural recipient, Dan Kennedy, of General Motors Remarketing, represents an outstanding choice as his dedication and expertise have not only played a role in establishing GM’s position in the marketplace, but have shaped the evolution and growth of the remarketing industry itself,” she continued. “We appreciate his contributions, applaud his accomplishments and congratulate him as this year’s recipient.”

 “Dan Kennedy is a true professional and exemplifies what it means to be a leader in the remarketing business,” said Auto Remarketing publisher and Used Car Week chair Bill Zadeits. “We were thrilled to see him nominated and selected for this award, and we’re honored that our first-ever National Remarketing Executive of the Year award is going to such an outstanding leader.”

Kennedy will be presented the award on Nov. 14 at the National Remarketing Conference as part of Used Car Week. ServNet will be presenting the award.
