The new office, located next to the Dallas Galleria Mall, will bring together 240 members of DealerTrack's vehicle inventory management team under one roof.  Bridget Townsend, vice president and general manager, will continue to lead the company's Inventory solution offerings, and Richard Marzan, vice president and general manager, will remain the lead for Trade Operations at the new location.
