Auto Trader adds two tech experts to board

LONDON - Auto Trader Group plc, the UK’s leading automotive marketplace platform, announced the appointment of two new Independent (LON:IOG) Non-Executive Directors. Megan Quinn and Adam Jay are set to join the company’s Board on July 1, 2025, and will participate in various committees, including Audit, Remuneration, Corporate Responsibility, and Nomination.

The appointments are part of Auto Trader’s strategic board succession planning, following a thorough search led by the Nomination Committee. The new directors will replace Jeni Mundy and Sigga Sigurdardottir, who will not seek re-election at the 2025 Annual General Meeting after completing their respective terms.

Megan Quinn brings a wealth of experience from her tenure in US technology companies. She currently serves as a Non-Executive Director at Niantic Inc, Handshake, and Pendo.io, and held the position of lead Independent Director at Rover.com until its privatization in 2024. Her advisory roles include technology advising for LMVH and Sierra, as well as a previous four-year stint on HSBC’s Technology Advisory Board. Quinn’s executive experience includes being COO at Niantic Inc, Head of Product at Square, and a role in Product Development at Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL).

Adam Jay has a strong background in marketplaces and e-commerce, with leadership experience at Vinted marketplace and senior positions at Expedia (NASDAQ:EXPE), including President of Hotels.com and President of Expedia’s retail brands. His Non-Executive Board experience includes NASDAQ-listed Despegar (NYSE:DESP) and Checkatrade.com. Jay’s career began at BCG, consulting in automotive, travel, and financial services, and included roles at Avis and Travelport.

Matt Davies, Chair of Auto Trader, expressed enthusiasm for the new appointees, citing their significant technology sector expertise, digital innovation knowledge, and marketplace business model experience. He also acknowledged the contributions of outgoing directors Mundy and Sigurdardottir, wishing them success in their future endeavors.
