TIMONIUM, Md. — Information technology (IT) services provider Helion Automotive Technologies today announced the recent addition of Tracey Reyes as its new director of marketing.

Reyes, whose career includes 10 years in the automotive industry, will oversee the development and implementation of strategies designed to increase awareness of Helion's services.
"Tracey brings a wealth of marketing knowledge to this position and I'm excited to have her energy, expertise and guidance for achieving our vision for the future," said Erik Nachbahr, founder and president of Helion Automotive Technologies.
Reyes previously served as a marketing director for Digital Air Strike and marketing manager for Dealertrack. She’s also served as director of marketing for Paypro Corp. and assistant marketing manager with First Data Merchant Services.
