Rounding out the newest member of its leadership contingent, RouteOne’s board of directors on Thursday appointed Chris Irving as its chief technology officer in the latest move with new chief executive officer Justin Oesterle at the controls of the platform designed to deliver a comprehensive suite of F&I solutions.

Irving has spent eight years with RouteOne and served as its director of application development and director of IT operations. RouteOne indicated Irving will now assume the prior responsibilities for managing all information technology and systems development, which were formerly overseen by Oesterle.

Irving will join RouteOne’s executive team, effective immediately, helping build upon its strong strategic and operating foundation. Led by Oesterle, the executive team will now consist of:

• Janice Basile, chief financial officer, responsible for all accounting and financial matters

• Daniel Doman, chief legal and privacy officer, responsible for all legal matters, security, internal audit and governmental affairs

• Irving, chief technology officer, responsible for managing all information technology and systems development

• Todd Mason, chief strategy officer, responsible for managing product conception, development and strategy, as well as all marketing-related strategy and tactics

• Brad Rogers, chief operating officer, responsible for managing all sales, customer strategy, integrations and customer support services

Prior to joining RouteOne, Irving was responsible for information technology across the automotive and financial services industries, including information technology manager at Brembo S.p.A., NAO operations support manager at GMAC Financial Services, and senior operations manager, information technology at Kaplan Financial.

Irving also spent time as a consultant for General Motors, focused on operations, process improvement and governance.

Irving earned a master's of business administration from Walsh College and his bachelor of science from Michigan State University, and graduated from the Electronic Data Systems (EDS) Information Analyst Development Program.
