In the second of three new honors to be handed out during Used Car Week, Auto Remarketing and SubPrime Auto Finance News announced the inaugural winner of the Re3 Executive of the Year Award presented by Consolidated Asset Recovery Systems.

Earning this accolade from a group of qualified candidates who specialize in the repossession, recovery and remarketing industries is Jeff Haynes, vice president and national remarketing manager at BBVA Compass.

Haynes possesses more than 20 years of experience in auto financing, collections, originations and remarketing. He has been with BBVA Compass for the past 16 years.

Haynes will officially receive his award during the Re3 Conference, which is sponsored by Digital Recognition Network and Primeritus Financial Services and takes place on Nov. 13 at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego.

The conference is the midpoint of Used Car Week and is set to incorporate a wide array of industry leaders for the networking and informational event.

The Re3 Executive of the Year Award will be handed to Haynes by Steve Norwood, president and chief executive officer of Consolidated Asset Recovery Systems.

“We have worked with Jeff and BBVA Compass since 2007. Jeff has been instrumental in helping Consolidated Asset Recovery Systems understand the intricacies of the repossession and remarketing business,” Norwood said

“We have relied on his many years of experience in banking and collections to guide us in refining our software and service to make sure we are delivering the best service in the market,” Norwood continued.

“His knowledge and experience in collections, repossessions and remarketing sets him apart as one of the leaders in this industry. We are honored to recognize Jeff’s contribution to this market,” Norwood went on to say.

The publisher of Auto Remarketing and SubPrime Auto Finance News and Used Car Week chair Bill Zadeits offered a similar reaction when Haynes was selected this morning.

“Jeff Haynes represents exactly what a highly skilled executive in the repossession, recovery and remarketing industries should be,” Zadeits said. “We were excited to see Jeff nominated and chosen for this award, and we’re honored that our first-ever Re3 Executive of the Year Award is going to such an outstanding individual.”

Previously, Galpin Ford of North Hills, Calif., was announced as the 2013 CPO Dealer of the Year, presented by NCM Associates, while Dan Kennedy of GM Remarketing was chosen as the first-ever National Remarketing Executive of the Year, presented by ServNet.

Organizers of Used Car Week have one other honor to announce — the Auto Finance Executive of the Year, presented by Black Book Lender Solutions.
