KAR Names Chief People Officer

By Staff Writer January 22, 2020

KAR Auction Services Inc. announced Lisa Price, KAR’s executive vice president of human resources, will take on the expanded role of chief people officer. Price is the first to hold this title at the company and will increase her focus on KAR’s company culture, its employer brand and its employees’ safety and security.

“Over the past six years, Lisa and her team have transformed how the company and its business units look at, recruit, measure, develop and promote people,” said Jim Hallett, KAR Global chairman and CEO. “She has championed people as a top priority for the company - from recruitment to retirement. Lisa’s people-first drive will help define who we are and who we aspire to be as a company by fostering an environment of development and employee appreciation.”

Prior to taking on her new role as chief people officer, Price was charged with bringing human resources, payroll, benefits and compensation departments enterprise-wide into alignment with KAR’s strategic and operational goals. Price now will also assume leadership of KAR’s Safety and Security teams.

Price joined ADESA, a KAR business unit, in 2005 as corporate counsel, responsible for everything from employment litigation and third-party liability to compliance risk management and advice and counseling.
