Westchester, Illinois — February 15, 2017 — Insurance Auto Auctions has announced that Tim O’Day has been named the company’s Chief Operating Officer (COO), reporting to IAA CEO and President John Kett.
“Tim has strong strategy and management expertise and a proven track record of driving customer value through effective and efficient operations,” said Kett. “His financial background blended with his analytic and leadership skills will benefit IAA, our customers, and the entire KAR platform.”
It may be worth noting that the Tim O’Day who works for IAA is not the same Tim O’Day who was recently named President of collision repair consolidator Boyd Group. They are completely different people who happen to share the same name.

In addition, O’Day will head the transportation and logistics teams, client delivery team and the company’s catastrophe (CAT) team.
O’Day joined IAA in September of 2015, as Senior VP of Finance. As part of this appointment, IAA made additional key leadership announcements that will further focus the company’s efforts in technology, operations, and market development.
• Terry Daniels, Managing Director of Impact, will expand his responsibility to include both Canada and Global Market Development.
