FLD, one of the largest privately-held automobile remarketing companies in the United States for more than 35 years, has announced the retirement of Chief Operating Officer Laurie Conn and the promotion of Gary Mott to president.
Conn, a native of Highland Beach, Florida, joined the company in 1983. For the last 32 years, she held the title of COO and was responsible for digitizing FLD’s title and documentation process. She was also extensively involved in FLD’s participation in multi-platform remarketing.
In her remarks to the associates at FLD, Conn said “The past three decades at FLD have been incredibly rewarding. I am honored by my association with FLD. I’ve had the pleasure of working with many dedicated associates and commercial fleet leaders in the industry, and I will miss the daily contact with each of them dearly.”
Mott has been working at FLD for 23 years, most recently as the vice president of sales. His responsibilities included strategic management of vehicle acquisition, remarketing, and operations and logistics departments. As president, Mott will work with new COO Ron Breslow to manage operations of the company.
“FLD is in an enviable position to capitalize on the strength and experience of a highly capable leadership team to support the further development of our organization,” said Ron Sanders, CEO of FLD. “These changes will have a positive impact on our long-term plans for continued profitable growth, greater productivity, and global expansion.”
