Adam Ouart, Senior Vice President Agency Service and Powersports

Adam brings more than 28 years of experience to his role where he will be responsible for growing EFG's agency and powersports market channels. This includes providing dealer development, both directly and through a distribution network of top-tier agents. As reflected in his recent predictions for the second half of 2023, Adam is focused on helping powersports and marine dealers continue to maximize online sales revenue opportunities, focus on localized financing, and bolster service capabilities for older models to offset potential revenue loss due to high interest rates. In the agency space, his team is arming agents to battle shrinking back-end profit margins, including playbooks for certified pre-owned warranty programs, electric vehicle education, and customer-first best practices to maximize client profit opportunities on every unit sold.
