Barrett-Jackson Chairman and CEO Craig Jackson will be the featured speaker at Scottsdale Community Bank’s “The Vault” business club event on Thursday, September 25. The event will take place at 8:30 a.m. at the de Sarthe Gallery in Scottsdale, ahead of Barrett-Jackson’s fall auction scheduled for October 15-18 at WestWorld.
The Vault is a speaker series that highlights influential figures from various industries in the Valley. Craig Jackson, recognized for his leadership of Barrett-Jackson Auction Company, is expected to discuss his experiences with leadership, innovation, and the growth of the collector car auction industry. The series aims to connect members of Scottsdale’s business community with leaders who have made significant impacts locally and nationally.
“Our goal with The Vault is to give community members access to inspiring leaders and Valley icons who keep Scottsdale in the national spotlight, and no one fits that bill better than Craig Jackson,” said Scottsdale Community Bank President & CEO Neill LeCorgne. “It’s an honor to have him take part in this event, and we expect it to be one of the highlights of the entire event series.”
Jackson has led Barrett-Jackson since 1995 after taking over from his family. Under his direction, the auction has expanded beyond Scottsdale to other cities across the country and gained exposure through partnerships with several major television networks including FOX Sports, Discovery Communications, FYI, History Channel, and A+E.
In addition to growing the company’s profile in collector car circles and media outlets such as Forbes and The Wall Street Journal, Jackson has overseen more than $163 million in charitable donations through Barrett-Jackson auctions since its founding.
Scottsdale Community Bank describes itself as a leading local bank serving small and mid-size businesses as well as nonprofits by combining technology with personalized service.
Jackson will be the second guest speaker for The Vault series; Adam Strecker of Hi Noon Hospitality was featured during its inaugural session in May 2025.
