PLANTATION, Fla. –

This week, AFS Acceptance hired a new vice president of risk management to oversee all aspects of portfolio management and play a key role in the originations and collections strategy for the company.

Tapped for the role is former Westlake Financial Services executive Greg Poppe.

“We are thrilled to welcome Greg to the AFS team," AFS Acceptance president Scot Seagrave said.

“With several years at a top-notch auto finance company under his belt, we know Greg has the training and experience to lead what is arguably the most important department in the company,” Seagrave continued. “This is a big win for AFS and we couldn’t be more excited”.

Poppe joins AFS after serving as VP of business development at City Loan Fast Cash. He also spent seven years at Westlake Financial Services, first as a risk analyst and risk manager, and more recently served as director of risk management.
