Jay Cadigan Named Vice President For Industry Relations At Manheim
Vehicle remarketing services company Manheim named Jay Cadigan Vice President, Industry Relations. In this new role, Cadigan will report to Joe George, Senior Vice President of Product Development. Cadigan is responsible for building and maintaining strong relations with the company’s partners across the industry. He will lead their strategic efforts.
Prior to this new role, Cadigan has held a variety of leadership positions within the company. For the past six years, he has served as Market Vice President for Florida and Puerto Rico where he oversaw the day-to-day activities of the twelve locations in that market. From 2003 to 2006, he spent three years in a corporate role as Vice President of Sales and Operations for the General Motors and Avis Budget Group accounts. Before that, Cadigan was General Manager of Skyline Auto Exchange (now Manheim NY Metro Skyline) in Fairfield, NJ, a position he held for eleven years.
Cadigan will play a critical role in advancing several key business initiatives for Manheim. The company is committed to improving the consistency of vehicle condition information across the remarketing industry; it has taken an important step in that direction by sharing its patented electronic condition report writing system with the industry.
Manheim is also preparing for a multiplatform future where the same vehicles are for sale across the company’s and competitors’ channels. In addition, the company is working with key partners to evolve arbitration processes and polices across the entire industry. Cadigan will champion all of these efforts.
