In February, F&I Sentinel announced its founders partnered with Calera Capital, a leading middle-market private equity firm.

On Thursday, the compliance solutions provider with respect to the financing of F&I products reinforced its executive team with two former team members at F&I Express.

Joining the company in key leadership roles are John Elias and David Miller.

According to a news release, Elias has been appointed vice president of sales, leading a team responsible for promoting F&I Sentinel’s CITADEL platform to automotive finance companies, banks and credit unions, finance and insurance product companies and automotive dealership enterprises.

The company said Miller has been appointed vice president of product and technology, charged with managing and innovating CITADEL to meet customer demands and emerging trends and regulatory changes.

Previously, Elias was senior director for lender sales at Cox Automotive. Before Cox Automotive, Elias held senior executive sales positions at LexisNexis, Experian, and Equifax.

Before joining F&I Sentinel, Miller served as project manager for F&I Express. He also held positions with Dealer Socket, AFG Technologies, and SouthwestRe.

Both Elias and Miller will report to F&I Sentinel founder and chief executive officer Stephen McDaniel.

“We’re extremely fortunate to have John and David join us,” McDaniel said in the news release. “John’s deep experience selling data-driven products and services to the automotive finance industry aligns perfectly with our sales strategy, and David’s decades of experience in managing and innovating technology products and solutions will strengthen and secure our position as the most complete end-to-end F&I compliance solution in the market.”

F&I Sentinel highlighted that its cloud-based CITADEL SaaS platform is designed to be an efficient turn-key compliance solution that can protect finance companies, dealers, and consumers by mitigating reputation, financial, litigation, and regulatory risks in connection with the sales and financing of vehicle finance and insurance products.
