DMA announced the appointment of David Sapp as its new assistant product manager.

During his tenure as an account manager at Auto Plus Auto Parts, Sapp significantly increased local accounts in the Chattanooga area, achieving a notable 15% year-over-year sales growth, DMA said in a news release.

His role as a broker account manager at Capital Waste Services saw him successfully elevate national brokerage accounts by 26% year-over-year and increase local sales in the Chattanooga/North Georgia markets by 18% year-over-year.

Sapp’s leadership as sales and marketing director at Ken Smith Auto Parts Inc. resulted in the development of the online sales program, increasing annual revenue from $600,000 in 2012 to $2.8 million in 2018, DMA noted.

Sapp holds an A.S. in Automotive Technology Management Services from the College of Central Florida in Ocala, Florida, and a bachelor’s in theology from CIMN in Santa Rosa Beach.
