As part of its inaugural Automotive Intelligence Awards, Cherokee Media Group is honoring a select group of outstanding auto industry analysts for their contribution to the knowledge base of the used-car retail, finance and remarketing industries.

The honorees in the first-ever Automotive Intelligence Awards: Industry Analysts will be recognized in the April edition of the Auto Fin Journal publication and at the Auto Intel Summit, which is April 8-10 at the Embassy Suites in Cary, N.C.

CMG senior editor Joe Overby talked with each of the honorees about their career journeys, a day/week in the life of an auto analyst, what they enjoy about the auto industry, how they enjoy their down time and much more.

Those conversations with our honorees can be found in the Auto Remarketing Podcast episodes below:

In addition to a luncheon at AIS recognizing these honorees, the honorees will participate on a panel discussion during the event.  More details on those luncheons, panels and the full AIS agenda can be found here: Agenda | AIS & NRC 2025
