Remitter USA is beginning its journey through 2021 with revamped leadership, including a new chief executive officer and vice president of sales.

Now overseeing the white-labeled digital communications platform powered by artificial intelligence that can help finance companies maximize revenue by reducing delinquencies and increase payments through optimized customer engagement as CEO is Larry Chiavaro.

And now part of the company’s executive leadership team as VP of sales is Dave Snow.

Chiavaro arrives at Remitter with more than 30 years of professional experience in identifying and developing growth in the consumer finance industry.

Most recently, Chiavaro was the co-founder and executive vice president of First Associates Loan Servicing / Vervent, building the company into one of the largest third-party consumer loan servicers in the U.S.

First Associates Loan Servicing / Vervent grew from six employees to more than 800, and it successfully sold to a private equity firm in July 2019.

Chiavaro also has held leadership positions for Household/HSBC Auto Finance, NovaStar Mortgage and GE Capital. Additionally, he regularly advises fintech companies and makes strategic investments globally through his advisory company, LPC Associates, and moderates more than a dozen conference industry panels per year.

Chiavaro retired from First Associates/ Vervent in September, but he started this year with a new professional challenge.

“We are looking forward to welcoming Larry to Remitter, especially with his experience in leading a results-driven team and business,” Remitter founder Simon Scalzo said in a news release. “Larry is well versed in what our clients want and need, which will be critical knowledge in the coming quarters as lenders work through the impact of the pandemic and prepare for increased delinquencies.

“Our clients are seeking scalable and flexible consumer-centric digital self-service solutions and Remitter is dedicated to meeting these challenges by delivering a proven platform, technical expertise and client support to fuel increased digital collections,” Scalzo continued.

Chiavaro elaborated about his next career chapter.

“I am honored to have been selected to lead this truly unique and innovative company and share the Remitter solution to my friends and their organizations in the consumer lending space,” Chiavaro said. “We have a great team, strong capability in the market and clear strategy that I’m confident will enable us to continue our rapid growth.”

And now part of that team tasked with continuing that growth is Snow, who joins Remitter with more than 10 years of experience across the consumer finance and accounts receivable industries, having served in senior sales, business development and leadership roles at Spruce Finance, Counterpointe SRE and TrueAccord.

In 2017, Snow founded American Energy, an innovative provider that delivers solar solutions to homeowners across California. Immediately prior to Remitter, he helped develop and grow the sales department at TrueAccord as its senior director of sales.

Remitter said Snow will play a critical role to help achieve the company’s targets by leading an expanding sales team, accelerating sales in a thriving market, expanding the firm’s presence in new geographies, developing new channels and taking a leading role in refining marketing and business strategies.

“I am excited to have Dave join us as our VP of sales,” Chiavaro said. “Dave’s track record of developing markets and attaining unprecedented results by building a cohesive sales team within multiple industries is a perfect match for Remitter as we roll out our full suite of products to lenders in North America.”

Scalzo reiterated how Chiavaro and Snow are joining Remitter at a critical time.

“As our clients work through the impact of the pandemic and prepare for the next few quarters of increased delinquencies, they are seeking out scalable and flexible consumer-centric solutions,” Scalzo said. “Remitter is dedicated to meeting these challenges by delivering a proven platform, technical expertise and client support to fuel increased digital collections for our clients.”
