ATLANTA – To support its efforts to drive future region growth, Manheim today announces 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, 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.”

J.D. Guerrero, Manheim El Paso: 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, Guerrero will use his diverse experience to increase business growth and focus on delivering solutions that help buyers and sellers increase their sales velocity.

Heath Sanderson, Manheim Birmingham: 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. 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.

Steve Robinson, Manheim Omaha: In 1998, Robinson began his career with Manheim at the Atlanta location.
