One of RouteOne’s founding employees now is the company’s chief operating officer.

The automotive F&I service provider announced this week that Jason Bolduc has been appointed as COO to lead a critical portfolio for RouteOne, encompassing dealer support operations for all services and strategic enterprise planning processes.

According to a news release, Bolduc’s journey with RouteOne began more than two decades ago when he was among RouteOne’s founding employees and played a key role in the development and launch of the platform, focusing initially on product and program management.

Before rejoining RouteOne in 2018, Bolduc accumulated experience in the start-up world, along with more than 10 years at Ally Financial, working in various technology leadership roles.

Additionally, Bolduc’s career includes management and technology consulting positions primarily focused on automotive, vehicle financing, and manufacturing with Deloitte.

The company highlighted Bolduc’s first-hand knowledge of the inception of RouteOne and its founding principles, interwoven with his extensive industry experience, gives him a unique perspective to enrich RouteOne’s operational and strategic decision-making.

“Jason creates an enormous positive impact for RouteOne, its owners, and our customers,” RouteOne chief executive officer Justin Oesterle said in the news release. “This elevation to COO is recognition by RouteOne of his many contributions to our organization and the industry we collectively serve.”
