Online auction site Bid4Assets announced it has appointed Jeffrey L. Weingrad as its new President and CEO. He replaces retiring CEO Richard W. Hayman who will continue to serve on the company's Board of Directors. Weingrad joins the company from Micros Systems Inc. where he was vice president of government and healthcare solutions.

Weingrad stated in a press release, "There are tremendous opportunities in the online auction space. Our challenge in growing the business is to recognize the potential of new markets and develop the organization to deliver on that potential. Luckily, we have a solid foundation on which to build."

Weingrad told AuctionBytes he will focus on areas of past success for Bid4Assets, including investment real estate, high-value personal property and jewelry, and will make the customer experience even better. "It's all about the customer," he said. Weingrad said his background is in customer service, and he wants "few levels between me and customers," saying he deliberately placed his office near the account management team, which interacts with customers.

A Bid4Assets email to users announcing the appointment stated, "Some of the things already on our plate include new tools for buyers and sellers along with enhancements to our Web Site's design and navigation." The email also solicited feedback from customers and included Weingrad's email address (B4ANewCEO (at) bid4assets (dot) com).

Bid4Assets specializes in online auctions for high value real estate and personal property. Government agencies like the U.S. Marshals Service and the U.S. Department of Treasury as well as an extensive community of private sellers use Bid4Assets to connect with buyers.
