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.

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.
