Group boosts finance team

Avanti Finance has announced the appointment of Mark Greenfield as head of sales – auto. 

He has more than 25 years’ experience in the motor-vehicle industry and has a deep market knowledge, strong commercial relationships and a practical understanding of what helps dealers succeed. 

Greenfield’s appointment builds on a strong track record across sales, business development and leadership, including more than a decade with Motorcentral Technologies, part of the Avanti Finance group of companies. 

Most recently, as head of business development, Greenfield, pictured, has helped grow the company by strengthening relationships and expanding its business development focus. 

In his new role, he will lead sales for Avanti Finance Auto and Motorcentral, focusing on partner relationships, growth and delivering practical solutions to make doing business with Avanti easier.

“Mark brings strong industry knowledge, commercial focus and a clear understanding of the market,” says Lee Robson, general manager of auto. “His appointment brings experienced leadership and continuity to our auto sales team as we continue to grow our introducer network across New Zealand.” 

Greenfield adds: “Every dealer has a different view of what success looks like at any given time for their business. My focus is on listening, asking the right questions and understanding where Avanti can add real value to their business – not just through our products, but through the way we partner with them.”
