CARMEL, Ind. — The executive vice president and chief financial officer of KAR Auction Services Inc., Eric Loughmiller, was named the Indianapolis Business Journal’s 2015 CFO of the Year in the public companies category.

A total of 15 CFOs in five categories received their awards last Friday. According to the publication, the executives honored embody high ethical standards and commitment to their communities and have a proven track record of results.

He later joined Auto Auctions, a KAR Auction Services business unit, as a consultant.
