Hitachi Capital America beefs up transportation finance team

Dave Herring (pictured above) brings more than 25 years of market experience. As heavy-duty national sales director, he is leading the team that delivers HCA’s competitive financing solutions to both dealerships and fleet operators across the country.

Herring said: “The team we are assembling is unmatched in the industry. No one else can offer both medium and heavy-duty truck and trailer financing solutions like we do. The breadth of experience we offer, combined with our robust programs and deep industry relationships, allow us to offer our customers the creative financing options they’re looking for.”

Jeff Mills, another industry veteran with 25 years of experience, is specializing in financing/leasing of medium to large for-hire and private fleets. His prior experience includes managing national and regional accounts for the top 500 transportation fleets in America.

Thomas Ball is HCA’s vice-president of intermediary finance and leads the company’s loan syndication and portfolio purchase initiatives. He also works with new brokers and large dealers to deliver multi-product financing solutions.

Russ Yanaga is the national sales director for medium-duty truck. A key driver of HCA’s growth since 2007, he and his team are leading a new initiative aimed at deepening HCA’s understanding of dealer needs to better align HCA’s products and services with their growth objectives.

Kirk Mann, senior vice-president and GM of the transportation finance division, said: “We have decades upon decades of experience and the skill set of this team is truly remarkable. We’re at an exciting juncture in our business and I’m confident that we’re going to achieve great things. We have a solid foundation in place and have big expectations for our future successes.”
