Beard says, "I am very excited to join Open Lending so that I can educate the Captive/Bank/FinCo space on the benefits of the Lenders Protection Program."
Alan Coursey joins Open Lending as the Regional Vice President of Sales in the northwest region after 5 years at State National Company. While there, Coursey was named Salesperson of the Year two out of the last three years. In addition to his success at State National, Alan has previous experience working for several fortune 500 companies in sales and management positions. Coursey's leadership and tremendous relationships in the northwest will be key in expanding Open Lending's presence and market share moving forward. Coursey is equally eager for his new role saying, "I am extremely excited to join the Open Lending team. This organization is best in class at transcending the near and non-prime auto lending industry. I look forward to working alongside financial institutions in the West/Northwest and providing the platform that will allow them to approve more auto loans."
