ATLANTA -

To support its efforts to drive future region growth, Manheim this week announced general manager appointments in three locations: J.D. Guerrero at Manheim El Paso, Heath Sanderson at Manheim Birmingham and Steve Robinson at Manheim Omaha.

“With significant leadership experience in our organization, these new general managers will help us deliver an outstanding experience at their respective locations,” said Barry Roop, regional vice president for local west at Manheim. “Their passion for the business, our clients and insights for our brand are a vital part of our long-term success.”

Guerrero began his career with Cox Automotive as a Manheim field sales representative in 2010 and has since worked in progressive leadership roles with both the U.S. and International markets. Most recently, he was the DealShield sales manager for the Southeast and Midwest regions.

In his role as general manager at Manheim El Paso, the company said Guerrero will use his diverse experience to increase business growth and focus on delivering solutions that help buyers and sellers increase their sales velocity.

Sanderson joined Manheim in 2011 and has grown from an operations leadership role to branch manager before being named as assistant general manager at Manheim Birmingham in 2014. His success in that role led him to be promoted to general manager at the Birmingham location this year.

Manheim highlighted Sanderson’s years of experience in sales and operations will enable him to continue leading the Manheim Birmingham team on their quest to operate efficiently while further expanding its dealer presence in the Birmingham market.

In 1998, Robinson began his career with Manheim at the Atlanta location. Throughout his 20 years with the company, he has held a variety of roles such as commercial manager, assistant general manager and general sales manager across several Manheim locations, including those in Atlanta, Harrisonburg, Miss., Statesville, N.C., and the Mid-Atlantic sales region.

As general manager, Manheim said Robinson will focus on delivering added value to local clients and contributing to the brand’s end-to-end remarketing services.
