RouteOne moved within a month to pick a new chief executive officer, elevating one of its executives who has been with the company since its inception.

RouteOne’s board of directors named Justin Oesterle as CEO, insisting that he will continue to execute the company’s focused mission of providing systems and services of choice to dealers and finance sources in the vehicle financing industry.

The company highlighted Oesterle is well positioned in his ability to execute the RouteOne vision and strategy. He has been with the organization since its beginnings in 2002 and has served in numerous executive leadership positions including chief information officer, vice president of sales, marketing and strategic alliances as well as vice president of operations and program management.

In this time period, RouteOne experienced significant growth, building an industry-leading network of dealers and finance sources active in the credit, eContracting and point-of-sale space. RouteOne’s network also includes more than 125 integration partners, allowing dealers to choose the systems that best fit their strategic plans and sales processes.

Oesterle plans to build upon the strong foundation established by former CEO Mike Jurecki and maintain its positive work culture that earned the company honors of the Detroit Free Press Top 100 Workplaces award in 2015.

Jurecki left RouteOne in mid-May to become CEO of Ford Direct.

“I am pleased to take on the CEO responsibilities with which our board of directors has entrusted me,” Oesterle said. “RouteOne is very fortunate to be on excellent strategic and operational footing thanks to Mike Jurecki’s leadership, an outstanding team of leaders, and the support of our owners.

“I look forward to continuing RouteOne’s service to our customers and meeting their needs as the marketplace rapidly evolves,” Oesterle continued.

Oesterle will also serve as chairman and CEO of RouteOne Canada.

Prior to joining RouteOne, Oesterle was a senior manager with Deloitte Consulting, focused on captive finance organizations.

Oesterle earned an MBA with concentrations in finance and strategy from the University of Michigan as well as a bachelor’s degree in economics from the same school.
