Anenen served for more than 25 years at CDK Global, formerly the ADP Dealer Services Group, where he previously led the Dealer Services division and grew revenues to more than $2 billion. When ADP spun off CDK Global into a stand-alone company, Anenen was appointed CEO, leading the company's Initial Public Offering, expansion and growth until 2016 when he retired.

"Steve deeply understands the automotive industry, auto dealers, and the importance of software in helping grow their business," said Sejal Pietrzak, presient and CEO of DealerSocket. "Steve will play an integral role on our board as we continue to innovate and launch best-in-class software. He will also be a valuable strategic advisor on our long-term growth strategy."

Earlier this year, DealerSocket announced the appointment of former General Motors (News - Alert) executive, and current Chief Operating Officer of WPP's Global Team Blue (which manages marketing for Ford Motor Company), Kim Brink to their board of directors. The appointment of Anenen further bolsters the expertise and industry knowledge on DealerSocket's board.

"DealerSocket's mission to drive the future of automotive, along with its incredible growth, success, and dedicated executive team made the decision to join the company's board of directors an easy one," said Anenen. "I have been extremely impressed with DealerSocket's software and customer-centric approach, and I'm looking forward to offering strategic insights and guidance as DealerSocket continues to innovate with their software and provide superior service that helps dealerships grow their business."
