ARLINGTON, Texas -

Antonio Rajan knows the buy-here, pay-here industry well stemming from his time as chief revenue officer at Autostar Solutions.

This week, Rajan took on the same executive position but with Agora Data, which strives to provide BHPH dealers and small to mid-sized finance companies access to abundant and affordable capital.

Rajan’s broad industry expertise includes knowledge about dealer management software, CRM, underwriting, GPS, and finance solutions. Prior to joining Autostar, he served as vice president of sales at LexisNexis.

In a news release, Agora Data chief executive officer Steve Burke described Rajan as a thought leader with an entrepreneurial vision and an exceptional record of positively transforming sales, marketing, operations and go-to-market strategies.

“Antonio brings Agora Data a wealth of knowledge about BHPH dealer operations and a keen appreciation of the needs to help grow the dealers’ business while enabling them to have a level playing field with the large dealer groups,” Burke said. “He’s a great asset to the strong leadership team already in place at Agora. We are very excited to have a person of his caliber as part of the Agora family.”

And Rajan shared what it means to him not to be a part of the Agora family.

“I would like to thank Steve and the Agora leadership team to entrust me with the mission of helping small to medium-sized finance companies and BHPH dealers with their capital needs,” Rajan said. “Agora Data is the first technology company that frees up dealers spending countless hours on collecting and instead spending more time on growing their operations, inventory, or business development centers. Having access to capital with no recourse will allow forward-thinking dealer principles to grow rapidly.

“When Steve described the unique solutions Agora has and his vision for disrupting the industry with innovative products, I knew I wanted to be part of the team,” Rajan went on to say. “I’m relishing this opportunity and invite anyone that thinks they’re the best of the best to come and join us in this incredible journey.”
