RoadVantage has named Scott Wolfe as its new chief financial officer. Executives said Wolfe’s background and experience are a perfect fit for the growing company.
AUSTIN, Texas — RoadVantage announced the addition of Scott Wolfe as CFO. Wolfe brings more than 25 years of senior finance and operational experience to the company, including the management and expansion of small, medium, and large organizations; he acquired a background in banking at JPMorgan Chase and led a significant international expansion via acquisition as the Global COO of Fitch Worldwide (div. WPP).
Executives said Wolfe’s tenures in multiple executive capacities and experience managing the process of identifying, prospecting, and developing mutually rewarding business relationships will prove vital to the success of RoadVantage’s ongoing expansion and his background in financial systems and operations will be instrumental in supporting a solid fiscal foundation to support the company’s growth.
Wolfe said RoadVantage’s rapid growth and great potential are the primary factors that attracted him to the company.
“I am absolutely thrilled to join the RoadVantage team,” Wolfe said. “As an executive member of many businesses, I’ve learned to quickly recognize a well-run organization. The team at RoadVantage gives me great confidence that the company can and will take over a large share of the market in a short period of time. Their unerring focus on creating an exceptional experience for all stakeholders is bearing the fruit of growth at a breakneck pace. I look forward to lending my experience to the effort.”
“We couldn’t be more excited to have Scott Wolfe join our team as CFO,” said Garret Lacour, RoadVantage CEO. “Our company is leading the market in product innovations and setting new standards with the highest levels of service to agents, dealers, and customers. Winning top honors with Diamond Dealers’ Choice Awards in 2017, 2018, and 2019 are proof of our success and the validity of our mission statement, to ‘Deliver an Exceptional Customer Experience.’ We’re honored that Scott has agreed to lend his knowledge and creativity to help ‘supercharge’ our dynamic growth.”
