This week, vehicle service contracts administrator AUL Corp. announced the hiring of Paul Leary to be the business development manager for the company’s Central Region.

According to Jason Garner, senior vice president of sales and business development of AUL Corp., Leary will be operating from Columbus, Ohio, and will be responsible for working with agents and dealers to maximize the company’s growth within a 12-state territory.

The company highlighted Leary brings 25 years of automotive and warranty experience to AUL, with his first 20 years spent in various capacities at GE Capital Warranty Division where he was instrumental in the growth of the business.

During the past five years, Leary has held leadership roles in operations and sales within the VSC industry. Garner highlighted this level of knowledge gives Leary the unique ability to respond quickly to customers’ needs and help them identify and create profitable solutions for their dealerships.
