Cam Hitchcock ’84, the recently retired CEO of America’s Auto Auction and Axle Funding, received the 2023 Remarketer of the Year Award.
Presented by the Conference of Automotive Remarketing, the award recognizes professionals in the remarketing industry who work to advance the industry, participate in industry associations and groups, and collaborate with colleagues and industry members in developing the next generation of remarketers.
Hitchcock grew up in Detroit and attended a military academy before enrolling at Wabash College and moving on to graduate work at Indiana University at the Kelley School of Business, according to a news release. He then succeeded for decades in finance- and treasurer-related executive positions at companies like Chicago Corporation, Deutsche Oregon, Dean Foods, Lear Corporation, EMCON Technologies, and as CEO of dealer services at ADESA.
Hitchcock is most known for being CEO and board member of America’s Auto Auction, which later merged with XLerate Group in December 2021.
“I’m honored to receive this award. But let’s face it, any CEO at the end of the day knows that in this industry on the auction side it’s all about the operators, sales staff, and all the other consignors in the room today,” Hitchcock said after accepting the award at a ceremony in March. “I accept this award on behalf of America’s Group and all the men and women in this room who get it done, and I’m proud of what the group is.”
