ALPHARETTA, GA - In response to its continued growth and success, LeasePlan USA, a premium fleet management service provider, has expanded its national account sales group. The group is led by Brian Barber, senior vice president, sales. "Due to our record growth, as well as unprecedented client satisfaction, loyalty and engagement outcomes, we are expanding our sales footprint in order to continue sharing our fleet expertise and premium level of service with companies unfamiliar with LeasePlan's value proposition," said Barber.

To help deliver the message that "it's easier to leaseplan," two new sales professionals have joined the national account sales group - Mike Slevin and Jim Quinn.

Mike Slevin has been appointed regional sales vice president, national accounts, based out of Columbus, Ohio. Slevin's 28-plus years of industry experience includes sales and sales management roles with Donlen Corporation, Mike Albert Leasing and Associates Leasing. Throughout his career, he was repeatedly recognized as a sales leader. In this new role, he will be responsible for new business development in Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington, D.C. and West Virginia.

Jim Quinn will serve as regional sales vice president, national accounts, based out of the company's headquarters in Alpharetta, Georgia. Quinn comes to LeasePlan with more than 20 years of sales, sales management and customer relationship experience in the fleet industry, including time with Donlen Corporation, GE Capital Fleet Services, Enterprise Fleet Services and US Fleet Leasing.

During his tenure, he consistently received recognition for superior sales leadership. He will be tasked with new business development in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee in this new position.

"LeasePlan is driven by the best employees in the industry. They are committed to delivering the high-touch premium service to our clients that is complemented but not replaced by technology. Our first-class team of sales professionals is no exception, and these new additions will only amplify that," said Jon Toups, chief sales and marketing officer.

"Mike and Jim are welcome additions to the team that have the passion for personalized service and the industry knowledge to contribute toward increasing our already record-high client satisfaction and loyalty rates," added Barber.

LeasePlan USA is a subsidiary of LeasePlan Corp. N.V., the world leading provider of fleet management services.
