BigFNI announced June 26 that it is pleased to welcome Ted Cunningham as vice-chairman of the Board/director of Sales and Marketing, and Gene Stohler as vice-president, Business Development. Together, these two distinguished automotive industry leaders bring a wealth of over 70 years experience to the BigFNI Executive Team.

Ted Cunningham, BigFNI Vice-Chairman of the Board/Director of Sales and Marketing

A 33-year veteran of the automotive industry, Cunningham is a former executive vice-president Global Sales and Marketing for DaimlerChrysler, served on its Board of Management, and remains one of its biggest individual shareholders. His role at BigFNI includes close involvement in the development and marketing of the flagship product -- an internet-based decision engine that puts automotive dealerships together with lending institutions and their loan programs.

"With my number of years in the automotive industry, starting in F&I and eventually moving into sales and marketing for one of the Big Three, I fully appreciate the technology that BigFNI is contributing to the automotive industry," stated Cunningham. "I recognize that the software this company has developed provides a great benefit to both dealerships and manufacturers by bringing simplicity to the process of automotive financing."

Gene Stohler, BigFNI Vice-President, Business Development

Stohler comes to BigFNI with over 40 years in the automotive, heavy truck and aftermarket industries. Stohler is the former vice-president of Marketing and Planning for MSX International, a global engineering and staffing firm whose influence extends throughout domestic and global automotive markets. As vice-president of Business Development at BigFNI, Stohler is facilitating the much needed dialog between dealers and lenders to bring the automotive financing process in-line with today's technology.

Besides his new position on the Executive Team, Stohler is also one of the Company's key investors. "When Red Poling suggested that I meet with BigFNI's management team, I was impressed with the depth of their experience, skill and know how," explained Stohler. "After reviewing their innovative business and product plans, I felt even more compelled to get involved."

Red Poling, former chairman and CEO of Ford Motor Company, and currently on the BigFNI Board of Advisors, said, "We are pleased to welcome two respected members of the automotive community to our team. Through these appointments, we are especially happy to confirm that our organization and product presents a strong attraction to quality people from the industry."

Big Finance and Insurance Services, Inc. (BigFNI or the Company), incorporated in 1995, was originally formed to operate as an automobile finance acceptance company, later becoming a business service provider to enable eCommerce in the finance and insurance industries. In 1999, the Company modified its proprietary software, resulting in the Company's patent pending software engine, a web-based risk analysis engine that allows automobile dealers and lenders to decision financing in real time and finalize loans in a matter of seconds.
