Mr Holm, who began his selling agent's career 23 years ago with Wesfarmers Dalgety in Victoria's Gippsland, has most recently been with Elders as the company's Queensland and Northern Territory livestock manager, based in Toowoomba for seven years.
After three years of significant AuctionsPlus turnover growth and sales coverage expansion in the stud and commercial livestock market, the new role will see Mr Holm focusing on services to livestock agents and responding to changing relationship needs.
"We want to improve the platform and the experience for our core business partners, the selling agents and their producer client-base," he said.
"AuctionsPlus has been through a very busy expansion phase during the COVID-19 period.
"The next phase for the platform is to consolidate that growth, including providing extra resources where needed, to respond to agents' needs."
Mr Holm, whose new position answers directly to AuctionsPlus chief executive manager, Angus Street, has previously worked in Naracoorte, South Australia; Alice Springs, NT, and Longreach, Blackall and Roma in Queensland.
