Michael Uzelac, President and CEO of Sextant Technologies, Inc.  "She brings

the road."
    Maryann Keller was president of priceline.com's Automotive Services unit
where she was responsible for leading the market rollout of priceline.com's
new car buying service.  Prior to that, she was with Furman Selz (now part of
ING Barings), where she served as the firm's lead auto analyst since 1986.
Prior to Furman Selz, she was portfolio manager with Vilas-Fischer Associates
from 1983 to 1986, and served as the lead automotive analyst with Paine Webber
from 1980 to 1983.  She was Kidder Peabody's automotive analyst from 1972 to
1980.  Keller was named the industry's top auto analyst six times during her
career.
    Keller is the author of two books -- "Rude Awakening:  The Decline, Fall

was the first analyst to identify and examine the threat posed by the Japanese
to American automakers.  In the 1980s with Furman Selz, she became convinced
that public ownership for auto dealers was possible and wrote extensively on
the subject.  She was involved in one of the first acquisitions of a dealer

IPOs of car dealers.
