Industry veteran Duane Kaylor has been named associate publisher of F&I Management and Technology Magazine. His nearly 35 years of experience in all aspects of automotive finance adds a strong link to F&I’s dealer management readers.

Kaylor began his career with 20 years at GMAC in positions of increasing responsibility. He then accepted the key role as vice president of operations at Hyundai Motor Finance and shared in the strategic plan for the company turnaround.

Later he served as president and COO of California Bankcorp Systems, developing a front-end application processing system and an effective nonprime score card that tripled the company’s business.

His most recent post was national finance director for Daewoo Motor America, where he was responsible for all retail finance and risk management activities.

"The unique qualities and experience of Duane Kaylor will benefit all advertisers with his marketing counsel," said Ed Bobit, publisher of F&I. "Similarly, his editorial direction on magazine content is certain to increase readership and recognition for the magazine."
