Hitachi Capital America (HCA), a recognized leader in commercial transportation financing, recently divided their loan and lease programs into medium-duty and heavy-duty truck teams and added several experienced heavy-duty experts.
Among those new to the Transportation team are Dave Herring, Jeff Mills, and Thomas Ball. Led by industry veteran Kirk Mann, the Transportation team now offers a full range of financing solutions aimed at both medium- and heavy-duty truck markets.
Dave Herring brings more than 25 years of market experience to the newly formed heavy-duty Transportation finance team. As heavy-duty National Sales Director, Dave is leading the team that delivers HCA’s competitive financing solutions to both dealerships and fleet operators across the country.
“The team we’re assembling is unmatched in the industry,” says Herring. “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 trucks and continues to be a key player on the Transportation finance team. A key driver of HCA’s growth since 2007, Russ continues to work diligently with his team to support HCA’s dealer network, including a new initiative aimed at deepening HCA’s understanding of dealer needs to better align HCA’s products and services with their growth objectives.
“This team and their drive for success makes me excited to come to work every day,” says Kirk Mann, Senior Vice President and GM of the Transportation Finance Division. “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.”
