CHICAGO — April 22, 2025 — Salvato, the smarter auction platform for insurance vehicles, today announced the appointment of Dan Oscarson as Head of Global Buyer Development. With more than 30 years of experience in the auto auction industry, Oscarson brings deep expertise and proven leadership to help Salvato transform the auto auction marketplace.
In this role, Oscarson will lead efforts to grow Salvato’s global buyer base — including recyclers, rebuilders, importers/exporters, brokers, and individual buyers — while ensuring an exceptional end-to-end customer experience from registration to purchase.
“Salvato Auctions is redefining what buyers should expect from an insurance vehicle auction,” said Oscarson. “Our model delivers unmatched value — reducing buyer fees by at least 20% on every vehicle. By decentralizing vehicle storage, we’re able to reduce vehicle movement, simplify logistics, and offer consistently lower fees to buyers.”
Before joining Salvato, Oscarson served as Chief Operating Officer at Marhaba Auctions in the U.A.E., and previously held key leadership positions at IAA, including Vice President of Global Buyer Marketing and Vice President of Global Market Development.
“Dan’s industry insight and global relationships make him an invaluable addition to the Salvato team,” said Peter Jebson, Co-Founder and CEO of Salvato. “With his leadership, we’re confident Salvato Auctions will deliver stronger financial outcomes for all sides of the auction marketplace.”
