Haig Partners said Tuesday it has hired former AutoNation executive Pete Thiel as managing director.
Thiel was most recently vice president of corporate development for the publicly traded retailer, where he headed up AutoNation’s acquisitions and divestitures.
He was with AutoNation for more than 20 years.
“As the leading buy-sell advisory firm to dealers, we pride ourselves on the integrity, confidentiality, and industry experience we bring to our clients,” Haig Partners president Alan Haig said in a news release.
“Pete embodies all of these traits. We know that his unmatched expertise in the buy-sell process will enhance our ability to provide exceptional service to our clients,” he said.
In the release, Thiel added: “I am thrilled to join the team at Haig Partners. I’ve seen from my former position as a buyer at AutoNation how Haig Partners runs a confidential and effective sales process.
“I am looking forward to helping dealers to maximize the value of their businesses as our industry continues to consolidate.”
