Making an Impact
"My advice is to be open-minded! Being open-minded
allows for new ideas, new experience, increased
knowledge, personal and professional growth, better
relationships and an overall positive approach."
Following in the footsteps of
her father, who has been involved in
auto glass since 1982, AAIA 2013
Impact Award winner Kimberly
Callahan began her career in the auto
care industry as a customer service
representative for an auto glass repair
and replacement company 13 years ago.
"I especially have an interest for the
aftermarket side because there are so
many diverse and amazing options that
not only are affordable, they are also
of superb quality," said Callahan.
In 2007, she opened her own auto glass
repair and replacement company in
Charleston, S.C., and in February 2011,
Callahan began at Insignia Group as
their first aftermarket data specialist.
In 10 months, she was promoted to
aftermarket data manager, where she
developed a new department and created
fresh job opportunities for others.
Callahan now leads a team of
professionals dedicated to both dealership
and automotive vendor management.
Relationship management, data
integrity and new business generation
are the primary goals of her team.
"I have witnessed such great progress
and growth during my time in the
industry," said Callahan. "My advice is
to be open-minded! Being open-minded
allows for new ideas, new experience,
increased knowledge, personal and
professional growth, better relationships
and an overall positive approach."
Callahan credits AAIA for being
a great educational resource that
keeps its members informed, and
said she is honored to be a 2013
AAIA Impact Award recipient.
