ATLANTA – In
recognition of her POWerful leadership contributions over the past 20 years,
Manheim Specialty General Manager Karen Braddy was honored by Atlanta-based
Womenetics on Tuesday, April 26 with a 2011 POW! Award.
The award was presented at the
second annual POW! Awards ceremony at the Loews Atlanta Hotel by Womenetics and
Porsche Cars North America. Braddy was among an elite group of fifteen
innovative female leaders in Georgia, recognized and celebrated for helping
forge new paths, inspiring passion, conviction and confidence in others and
modeling collaborative and innovative leadership.
“I am honored and humbled by
this award,” said Braddy. “I truly believe that as a leader, the success you
achieve is the result of the people you surround yourself with, and the Manheim
and Specialty team is fabulous. Thanks to their dedication and efforts,
together, we have been able to build a very successful business.”
In her role at Manheim,
Braddy is responsible for overseeing the company’s 24 Specialty operating
locations around the country. She joined the auction industry in 1990 as a
vehicle registration clerk and learned every aspect of the business, which led
to her successful career at Manheim. Since launching the Specialty and Heavy
Truck & Equipment initiatives in 2005, Braddy has grown Manheim’s Specialty
divisions into multimillion dollar businesses.
Her leadership style is
highlighted by high-energy, motivation, compassion for others and a drive for
success. Braddy’s stand-out career
coupled with a similarly relentless passion for family and dedication to
charitable causes throughout the community provided the “ingredients” Womenetics
seeks for the POW! award.
