Kinetic Advantage promotes 2 current execs to SVP roles
Kinetic Advantage promoted two of its executives to be senior vice presidents in moves that became effective on May 1.
The floor plan provider announced this week that Will Chandler was given the role of senior vice president of sales and operations, while Jennifer Davis-Fink was elevated to senior vice president of IT portfolio management.
Kinetic Advantage highlighted that Chandler will guide the growth and success of the field sales and operations teams and align them under a unified strategy to propel the growth of the company’s dealer partners.
Chandler enjoyed success as a leader within the organization in his previous roles as a regional vice president of field operations, and most recently as the vice president of field operations.
The company said that Chandler has a wealth of industry knowledge and experience “and his strength lies in his ability to skillfully negotiate and interact with partners, as well as lead large field teams.”
Chandler previously served as the vice president of financial solutions for NextGear Capital before joining Kinetic.
“I am so excited to see Kinetic Advantage continue to build on the momentum we have created in the marketplace,” Chandler said before elaborating what makes his work meaningful.
“It really is all about building a positive experience for our dealer partners,” he continued. “Aligning our dealer-facing teams is critical to providing our dealers with a first-class enrollment and floor planning experience.”
Now as as senior vice president of IT Portfolio Management, Davis-Fink will lead software engineering through innovative, strategic and tactical projects.
Davis-Fink has been with Kinetic since the business was founded and led the product/project management and software teams as the vice president of IT portfolio management.
“Her career journey has provided her with valuable expertise that has helped Kinetic Advantage since the business’s conception,” the company said while highlighting that Davis-Fink has extensive industry experience having served as the director of project management for NextGear Capital and director of IT-auction services group at ADESA.
“I am honored to help direct top-notch and dedicated Software Engineering and Product teams at Kinetic as we are focused on delivering a world-class experience for our dealer and auction partners,” Davis-Fink said. “The investments that Kinetic is making in technology reflect Kinetic’s goal to help our dealer partners succeed.”
