Auto Finance Innovation 2016 will start off with a bang, thanks to the addition of Daniel Parry of Praxis Finance Corp., and Peck Yang of Shift Finance, to its speaker faculty.
The two executives will join the panel entitled Startup Leaders on the Future of Auto Finance, will which kick off the inaugural event on May 11 in Fort Worth, Texas, following the annual Auto Finance Risk & Compliance Summit.
Parry, chief executive and co-founder of Praxis, was formerly chief credit officer at Exeter Finance Corp. — a company he also co-founded in 2006. Prior to that, he served as senior vice president of Risk Management at AmeriCredit Corp. Parry brings with him, more than 16 years of experience in analytics, business development, capital markets, and executive leadership.
Yang recently co-founded Shift Finance to act as the financing arm of Shift Technologies Inc., a peer-to-peer vehicle buy/sell marketplace. The financing pilot, which was announced in mid-March, will aim to offer competitive loan rates on cars, with a unique twist: “If for some reason a customer is unable to keep up the payments on their vehicle, they may be able to resell through Shift and find another car with a lower monthly cost,” the company said at the time.
