Automotive Intelligence Council member MBSi Corp. enhanced its leadership team on Monday by bringing on a former executive at Primeritus Financial Services and Manheim.

The provider of repossession assignment software and vendor compliance monitoring named Phil Hanks as senior vice president of sales and client services. The company highlighted that Hanks will align his industry experience with MBSi’s software-as-a-service platform to amplify client services across the auto finance industry in the United States.

“Phil brings a wealth of industry experience and relationships to the MBSi team as we put the finishing touches on our new case management and compliance management systems that will be in market soon,” MBSi president Cort DeHart said in a news release.

“The more time we spend upfront learning about a client’s challenges and their goals, the better systems and service we will develop. I have no doubt Phil will help us accomplish this goal,” DeHart continued.

Within MBSi, Hanks will primarily develop and build new relationships to help MBSi’s finance company, forwarder and agency clients reach operating excellence with the MBSi’s software solutions.

“It’s exciting to join a company with such an opportunity to grow in the market,” Hanks said. “The need for a single software ecosystem to manage repossession cases, map agents and monitor compliance exists for any entity managing repossession orders in the auto-finance industry.

“I share the vendor perspective and look forward to help deliver solutions that bring more opportunities back to agents with increased visibility to financial institutions,” he went on to say.

In 2013, Hanks founded Connect 1 Recovery, which performs asset recoveries in four states. Prior to Connect 1 Recovery, he was a founding partner, president and chief operating officer of Primeritus, an integrated forwarding partner of MBSi. Hanks also has held multiple senior roles at Manheim.

Again this year, MBSi will be a part of Repo Con, which is the repossession and recovery portion of Used Car Week. This year’s industry leading conferences begin on Nov. 11 at the Red Rock Resort in Las Vegas.
