Trader Interactive hired David McMinn as the organization’s new chief financial officer. His appointment is effective immediately.
McMinn succeeds Charles Goodwyn, who is retiring after 22 years with Trader Interactive and its predecessor companies.
McMinn most recently served as Trader Corporation COO. He helped transition Trader Corporation’s Autotrader business from a publishing print business to a Canadian digital automotive platform. His background includes senior leadership roles in sales and operations with UK company Trader Media Group and CFO of Sensis Classifieds in Australia.
“I have worked with some of the top vehicle marketplace companies across several continents. Trader Interactive has a very impressive track record, great culture and is positioned very well for future growth” McMinn said. “The company is customer-centric and clearly committed to being the best in the breed and I’m looking forward to helping them on that journey financially.”
McMinn’s appointment coincides with the completion of Trader Interactive’s acquisition by carsales.com Ltd this month. The acquisition was announced in July.
“David is assuming CFO responsibilities at a time when we are not only expanding our digital retailing program but also leveraging carsales’ expertise to continue optimizing and expanding the products and services we offer,” said Lori Stacy, Trader Interactive CEO. “His tenure and diverse experience in the marketplace sector make him the ideal person to lead our finance and accounting teams as we embark on these new efforts.”
