Omaha, NE – December 7, 2015 – Proxibid (www.proxibid.com), the most trusted online Marketplace for buying and selling highly valued items, today appointed Tom McSweeney as Senior Vice President of Sales. Mr. McSweeney’s focus will be on growing Proxibid’s presence in the heavy equipment and industrial machinery markets.
Mr. McSweeney brings a wealth of experience in managing quantifiable results as a senior-level leader in sales and business development. This, coupled with his deep international and sales operations experience, makes him a valuable asset to the Proxibid team. Mr. McSweeney joins Proxibid from InfoGROUP Inc., formerly known as InfoUSA, where he served in several capacities, most recently as Executive Vice President of Enterprise Solutions. In that role, he was tasked with merging several sales teams into one, building a comprehensive go-to-market strategy built around a client-centric approach. Prior to joining InfoGROUP, Tom contributed more than 25 years at Automatic Data Processing (ADP), where he had ever increasing roles of leadership and responsibility for revenue, sales growth, and manpower.

His track record at InfoGROUP and his tenure at ADP demonstrates his ability to scale and lead top-notch sales organizations.”
Mr. McSweeney joins Proxibid during a period of rapid growth. The company, which works with more than 3,000 sellers, has added more than 579 customers in the last 18 months and is poised to significantly grow this roster as robust product offerings like Proxibid’s Buy Now and Make Offer tools continue to gain traction.
