America’s Auto Auction Bowling Green has a new general manager.  

AAA said in a news release Tuesday that Karol Kirby Ahmed has been promoted to the GM role.

“Karol joined America’s Auto Auction in 2017. Her rich auction lineage evolved from her family’s auction business in South Central Kentucky and Middle Tennessee,” AAA chief executive officer Cam Hitchcock said in a news release.

AAA senior vice president Laura Taylor added: “I am so excited to have Karol taking the lead at our Bowling Green location.

“Her years of auction experience are impeccable, and the cheering crowd when I made the announcement was more proof that she is the right leader for this location.”
