Elevenci appoints former VWFS CEO Bryan Marcus to leadership team

Automotive sector consultancy Elevenci has appointed automotive finance industry expert and former Volkswagen Financial Services chief executive Bryan Marcus to its leadership team.

Marcus joins the business as lead consultant following what the business described as an “extremely successful initial 18-months of operations”.

Launched in February 2020, Elevenci has been working with several UK and international enterprises on large scale innovation, IT platform selection and change delivery initiatives.

Now it is looking to accelater its growth with the appointment of Marcus to its 40-strong team of board-level associates.

Elevenci managing director, John Waring, said: “Bryan has been instrumental in our rapid growth and success to date, having worked closely with Elevenci as an Associate since its conception.

“His appointment as lead consultant will now see him take an active role within the management team to further shape and develop the business as we reach our second-year milestone.”

Elelvenci said that, along with his experience at VWFS, Marcus had previously held multiple board level and executive roles across OEM captives, bank-owned and independent enterprises in the UK, Europe and the Americas.

He also recently developed an Elevenci whitepaper on the criticality of an optimised captive finance model.

The business said in a statement: “As part of his new role, Bryan will be shaping the businesses views and opinions on new operating models and technology, positioning Elevenci as a leading player in the sector.”

Commenting on his new role, Marcus said: “We have had an incredible first year in business, and I believe this is only a taste of things to come.

“The automotive landscape is undergoing dramatic changes, and the launch of Elevenci was very timely.

“The niche industry experience we have in our consultants – who all have track records of delivering change and success from within the industry – enables us to help clients recognise and address strategic and operational problems in a way that the more recognised consultancy brands would find challenging.”
