Greg Levi is returning to Columbus Fair Auto Auction as a member of its leadership team.

It was announced today that Levi has been chosen as the auction’s new chief operating officer.

CFAA management explained Levi will be directing the business’s growth of its 11-lane Wednesday sales, and will be in charge of managing the auction, body shop, recon department and mechanic shop.

"Greg brings a very customer centric and employee focused approach to our operation," said Alexis Jacobs, CFAA president. "Our employees are thrilled to see Greg back, and our dealers and commercial consignors have been extremely pleased with his return to Columbus Fair."

Levi brings a breadth of experience to the position of COO, as he left the auction in November 2013 to fill the position of executive vice president of Finance Express, where he was involved in product management and strategy before the company’s acquisition by DealerSocket.

"Greg's diverse background, both in technology and wholesale/retail automotive management is a true asset to our corporate mission: provide an environment that is inviting for consignors to sell cars and dealers to buy and sell cars. Our business should and will be about serving our consignor network and the dealer experience," said Jacobs.

Levi also expressed his enthusiasm for the new role, noting: "Columbus Fair has a stable and tenured management team. Being with this group and the 450 employees is like being home with family.

“Alexis has always promoted customer service and employee development, I look forward to promoting her objective of being the best. Her legacy is and will be about customer service,” he said.
