Chip Perry Leaves AutoTrader.com

[Livefyre]

This was some tough news to swallow today.  Chip is a consummate professional and a tremendous visionary, and a great guy to be around.  With the years and years of success under his belt he seemed to know every employee's name and a little personal piece about them and went out of his way to make you feel welcomed.  
Best of luck to Chip in his next venture.  I hope it consists of a bit of rest though because he hasn't stopped since the 90s!

Yeh man this is really symbolic. I was just coming into the auto biz when Chip and AT.com formed. The fact that he has been leading such an entity all this time through such a tumultuous era says more about Chip and AutoTrader.com than many of us can imagine. Hats off to Chip!

Thank you too for being a good industry friend!

Chip Perry, what an extraordinary pioneer for automotive internet.  He was succinct about his vision from the first AAISP gathering, and no company can claim as firm a grasp on the business of online car advertising than the one he has led from day one.  Congrats and A Big Championship Trophy Hoist to you Chip.  Certainly all you have added to the people, places, and perspectives throughout automotive internet leaves a legacy well appreciated!
