As part of the 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.

Next up on our series of podcasts with these first-ever honorees in the Automotive Intelligence Awards: Industry Analysts program is a conversation with Jonathan Banks, vice president of product development & valuation services at J.D. Power.

Banks talks about first job in automotive — packing books into envelopes during what was supposed to be a summer job at ALG in 1995 — and how that evolved into a decades-long career on the analytics side of the industry.
