I am a results-driven leader with more than three decades of international experience in motor and asset financial services. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my propensity for optimising operational output and improving bottom line results.Between 2018 and 2022 I was employed by V12 Vehicle Finance (part of Secure Trust Bank Plc). During my tenure, I was a key driving force behind a major multi £m Motor Finance programme that transformed V12 from a limited automotive lender to a mainstream, fully digitised provider of a range of competitive B2B / B2C products.Before joining V12, I was the operations and project lead for a complex business transformation project. I played a pivotal role in deployment of the Ricoh Capital captive financing operations to 13 European markets as part of their replatforming ambitions that led to significant YoY revenue and PBT growth.My career also features 23 years with Ford Credit Europe (FCE) Bank Plc. I spent three years as General Manager – Saudi Arabia with Al Amthal Leasing (FCE Bank JV partner), with full operational and P&L responsibility for a £80m consumer lending portfolio. Under my leadership, the underperforming motor finance JV business was completely transformed.I am accustomed to leading large teams and developing a broad network of stakeholders. Driven and resilient, I go the extra mile to tease out the detail and ensure all bases are covered. My ability to navigate difficulties and change while unlocking growth opportunities and keeping staff on board, has been central to my success. I build consensus by harnessing my ability to communicate at all levels.Innately values led, I‘m curious and driven to do the right thing. The opportunity to make a positive impact energises me, and I do my best work in a role with plenty of scope for colleague interaction and opportunities to form business partnerships. I’m a highly reliable pair of hands with genuine integrity. During my career, I’ve learned the importance of being open-minded and willing to ask questions.I am always interested in starting conversations with those who want to know more about the world of motor and asset financial services. New connections and networking opportunities are welcomed.Call: 07722 761138Email: hdpaley1963@gmail.comMessage me via LinkedIn
