COLUMBUS –

After announcing earlier this week Integrated Auction Solutions is now fully compatible with Autoniq’s appraisal software, IAS reported Wednesday it has appointed a new president.

John Lilly has been chosen for the job, and the new IAS exec will join the company immediately. Lilly will assume responsibility for IAS AuctionMaster, IAS Simulcast, IAS Marketplace, IAS Core and IAS Services, the company shared.

In a press release announcing the appointment, IAS founder Alexis Jacobs, said, “John has been a respected strategist and operating executive within the automotive industry for many years, and we are pleased to have him lead the IAS team. 

“He will have full responsibility for the IAS suite of products, which we believe will change the way cars are transacted among auctions, dealers, consignors and consumers,” Jacobs continued.

Greg Levi, IAS managing partner, added, “I have known John for many years; he brings a unique set of skills, experience and perspective that we believe will accelerate our strategy, and deliver tangible results to our community.”

Prior to joining Integrated Auction Solutions, Lilly was chief product officer at CDK Global Inc., and a line of business leader at Accenture, where he held various product, strategy and business development roles.

"I am excited to be joining IAS at a time when the wholesale auction experience is evolving so quickly. Auctions are seeking solutions to help them compete in a marketplace which is quickly moving online,” said Lilly. “ I look forward to working with Alexis, Greg and the rest of the IAS team to bring products to market that enable auctions to compete more profitably.”
