Leadership changes at Copart come at a time of steady transaction volumes in the used-car auction sector. The company announced that current CEO Jeff Liaw will step down effective July 31, 2026, and Executive Chairman and former CEO Jay Adair will return as CEO, according to specialized recycling industry reports.
