As a West Point graduate and former lieutenant in the U.S. Army, Stephen Cannon is a take-charge kind of guy. Three years ago he was in charge of the Hyundai dealers account at The Richards Group, which recently earned him a slot as the firm’s 22nd principal.

Cannon, 44, joined Richards in 2002 after a decade in marketing at Mercedes-Benz. He first met Stan Richards in 1991, when the rapidly growing independent competed in a Mercedes review.

“I stayed in touch with Stan for 10 years,” Cannon said.
