CARMEL, Ind.—ADESA, a business unit of KAR Auction Services (NYSE: KAR), today announced management changes at the company’s subsidiary, Recovery Database Network (RDN). Zach Hallowell has been promoted to president of the organization.

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

Other management changes at RDN include the addition of a new director of sales, John Houston. He 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. Houston has a bachelor’s degree from the University of Nevada-Las Vegas.
