Bob Byers Volvo Hires Vic Kirilenko As Sales Manager At Ravenna Volvo

March 22, 2012 - PRLog -- Bob Byers Volvo has announced the hiring of Vic Kirilenko as the company’s New Car Sales Manager at Ravenna Volvo.

Co-Owner Doug Byers, in making the appointment, said Kirilenko’s vast experience in the area as well as his connection to Volvo made the hire a solid choice for his company. “Vic has all the tools we need to help us continue to be a market leader,” Byers said. “He’s worked in the Seattle area for a long time, with great success, and the fact that he comes from a Volvo background makes the choice that much better.”

Kirilenko, a Mukilteo resident, spent the past eight years as General Sales Manager for Sandberg Volvo in Lynnwood. Prior to that, he held the same position with Bellevue’s Barrier Volvo.  He has over 30 years of experience in the car business.

In making his choice to join the Byers group, which also includes Downtown Seattle Volvo and Bob Byers Pre-Owned Volvo in Lake City, Kirilenko cited the company’s “strong character and integrity. Its reputation in the industry is well-known: there’s been a dealership here in Ravenna for over 70 years, so they know how to do it right. And that was very important to me.”

Born in Salzburg, Austria, Kirilenko lived in Brazil as a youth and moved to the United States, settling with his family in Philadelphia before moving to Seattle. He speaks four languages in addition to English: Portuguese, Spanish, Russian and Ukrainian.
