“As one of the co-founders of TradeRev and an industry veteran, I can’t think of anyone better suited to take over leadership of TradeRev,” said James Coyle. “As President of TradeRev, James will ensure we continue delivering the innovative products and services that have made it the leader in Canadian digital dealer-to-dealer auto sales. In his dual role leading the Canadian sales team, his deep understanding of the full automotive ecosystem will keep us connected to dealers and their needs as we continue to expand and align our marketplaces.”

Worked retail and wholesale sides

Tani started his career working on both the retail and wholesale sides of the automotive business for 15 years. In 2011, he along with co-founders Mark Endras, Wade Chia and Jae Pak launched TradeRev in Canada.

As we continue to streamline KAR Global’s portfolio of services, capabilities and offerings across our digital platforms, there’s no limit to the success we can help our customers achieve.”
