Scottsdale-based Barrett-Jackson Auction Company’s new chief operating officer is Joie Chitwood III, the company announced.
Chitwood will work alongside Barrett-Jackson’s chairman and CEO Craig Jackson, leading the auction company’s day-to-day business operations, according to a press release.
A longtime executive in the live event and motorsports industries, Chitwood joins Barrett-Jackson following his position as vice president of corporate development and tournament director for the Arnold Palmer Group in Orlando, Florida.
“I couldn’t be more excited to welcome Joie to the Barrett-Jackson family,” said Jackson. “He’s had an incredibly accomplished career and I look forward to him bringing his well-respected enthusiasm, leadership and ingenuity to Barrett-Jackson. Joie’s experience coupled with the recently announced IMG partnership confirms the future is as bright as it’s ever been at Barrett-Jackson, and I look forward to what’s in store as we continue to grow and engage the collector car community.”
Prior to his position with the Arnold Palmer Group, Chitwood served as executive vice president and chief operating officer of International Speedway Corporation where he was responsible for the leadership, management and oversight of the operations of the 12 ISC motorsports facilities.
