Location Services recently hired eight executives in a wide array of specialties to help strengthen the senior leadership team of the recovery management and loss mitigation service company.

Bringing 10 to 20 years of experience with them in some instances, the newest hires include:

—Carolynn Huter, vice president of human resources

—Ken Garbez, vice president of remarketing services
—Jennifer Perry, vice president of title operations
—Joseph Kalliath, director of technology
—Jeremy Turner, director of vendor relations
—Miriam Salama, director of business development

“We are excited to add top industry talent to our already seasoned team,” Location Services CEO Jerry Kroshus said in a news release. “We are experiencing rapid growth and recognized we needed additional talent and depth to properly serve our clients and vendors. Our new team members are highly respected industry leaders, and we are thrilled they have joined us.”  

The company said Huter, Hood, Garbez, Perry and Turner are all based in Carmel, Ind., at Location Services’ headquarters. Location Services highlighted these executives have extensive third-party servicing experience and have all worked together in the past.

Kalliath brings more than 20 years of management experience overseeing application development. Salama has more than 10 years working in vendor compliance, while Odom has a management background in the credit union servicing and insurance industries. 

“We continue to build a first-class organization and adding this group further strengthens our ability to perform at the highest levels,” Location Services chief client and operations officer Jose Delgado said. “These new team members have already made immediate impacts in their respective divisions, and we look forward to many more contributions from all of them.” 

Location Services also announced that its penetration levels with successful license plate recognition (LPR) recoveries continue to increase month-over-month. 

“As InsightLPR, our LPR platform partner, continues to grow and gain market share with agents and clients, we are definitely benefiting from their momentum,” Kroshus said. “John Nethery, CEO at InsightLPR, has built a great team and model. They have made incredible progress as a company.”  

“It’s a very exciting time for us at Location Services. The loyalty and opportunities received from clients that we previously serviced at other organizations is very rewarding. Their continued faith and trust in us is beyond gratifying,” Delgado added.    

Kroshus pointed out another component that’s helped Location Services to enjoy success and expand its team.

“We are very fortunate to have Delaware Street Capital (DSC) as our parent company. The support and resources they provide us enable us to grow and expand in a positive direction,” Kroshus said.
