Executive Director, ServNet
"It is with great pleasure that we welcome Chris Angelicchio as ServNet's Executive Director," said Chad Bailey, ServNet's President. "His many years as an auction owner and operator, coupled with his standing in the industry make him uniquely qualified to lead the ServNet Auction group. He will play a pivotal role in continuing to build and strengthen ServNet in this rapidly evolving industry."
Angelicchio comes to ServNet with over 20 years of auto auction experience, many of them gained at the Angelicchio family's Pittsburgh Independent Auto Auction and Winchester Auto Auction which were ServNet members prior to ADESA purchasing Pittsburgh in 2015. He began his career in dealer sales at the Pittsburgh auction in 2002, eventually serving as the general manager and assisting at Winchester Auto Auction. Following the sale of the Pittsburgh auction to ADESA, he managed the Pittsburgh location for six years.
"The auction business more than just my profession: it's an integral part of my life," said Angelicchio. "I watched my grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles pour their hearts into their family-owned auctions and those lessons of hard work and devotion have stayed with me. Growing up in an independent auction family provided the foundation for a strong work ethic, the belief that there are no tasks beneath anyone, a passion for customer service and a love for the auction industry."
"My years in the industry have also taught me the vital role that ServNet's independent auctions play in this business," said Angelicchio. "Because of the drive and vision of ServNet's auction owners, ServNet has been ahead of its time, developing and embracing technology that has changed the auction landscape. But ServNet also remains firmly committed to the customers and the relationships that have been developed over the years. While customers have been reduced to numbers in other areas of the industry, ServNet auctions are committed to the people they work for and work with, making sure that every customer has a white glove experience, whether at the auction or online."
"ServNet will continue to shape the industry, and I look forward to working with the group to determine ServNet's road map for the future," stresses Angelicchio. "Using all the resources we have at our disposal, ServNet will continue to lead in the marketplace as we focus on meeting and exceeding our customers' expectations."
