Jodi Amaya, auctioneer since 2008, worked her first auction thirty-five years ago in the local high school parking lot. Ever since then, Jodi had a vision for an all-in-one solution and auction platform that could enable companies who manage and sell inventory to gain their brand independence by retaining their customer and inventory data to build their own marketplace. Her passion and vision stem from her desire to help people succeed.
“Having spent over 30 years in the auction industry, I’ve experienced the pain point of lacking the tools needed to upsize a business. At InnovA, we saw the value of providing a service that was once limited to larger auction companies with larger budgets, InnovA offers the best-in-class technology to run a company efficiently and maximize existing staff to be competitive in the auction space. We combine our background and passion for the auction industry to be a trusted partner of our clients.”
