CARMEL, Ind. -

On Tuesday, ADESA promoted Zach Hallowell to president of its subsidiary, Recovery Database Network (RDN).

The company indicated Todd Hodnett, who most recently served as RDN’s president, is leaving RDN to pursue another business venture. However, Hodnett will remain in an advisory capacity for RDN through the end of the year.

Hallowell joined RDN as chief operating officer in January 2013. In this role, he worked closely with the company’s chief executive officer on all aspects of RDN’s daily operations.

Prior to RDN, Hallowell served for five years as business line director for OPENLANE, which KAR Auctions Services acquired in late 2011. The company highlighted Hallowell has extensive experience developing and managing online marketplace systems, especially in the wholesale automotive space.

“Zach has played an integral part in delivering innovative technology solutions for our customers and our industry,” ADESA CEO and president Stéphane St-Hilaire said. “He is a skilled professional, and I look forward to him leading our team at RDN.”

ADESA also mentioned other management changes at RDN.

The latest moves include the addition of a new director of sales, John Houston, who has 15 years of experience in the auto loan industry, in areas ranging from recovery and collections to auto finance. Most recently, he served as a consultant in the industry, developing new auto finance products.

RDN has also appointed Holly Balogh to senior director of operations and Kathy Toal to senior director of client services.

Balogh previously served as senior product manager for RDN and has more than 20 years of business experience in product management and technical development.

Toal previously served as management director for RDN. She began her career in loss mitigation management in 1982 and has worked in retail and banking situations in addition to auto finance.
