Former Leaseplan director returns to epyx as CCO

Former Leaseplan director Tim Meadows has returned to epyx in the newly-created role of chief commercial officer.

Meadows previously spent four years with the automotive sector ecommerce solutions provider, initially as director of account management and then commercial director, before becoming managing director at r2c Online.

He previously spent 11 years at LeasePlan, ultimately as brand director for public sector automotive leasing.

In his new role Meadows will be responsible for field and business sales development, account management, manufacturer and dealer relationships, inside sales, and marketing and communications.

Newly promoted business development director Marc Lees and inside sales director Ryan Wakeman will report to Meadows.

The epyx managing director Aditya Varadpande said: “epyx has ambitious growth plans for the next few years, especially as we move into areas such as connected vehicle data. We intend to continue to digitally connect the fleet and dealer ecosystem and further improve efficiencies.

“These new appointments are being made in support of this strategy. Tim, Marc and Ryan have a wealth of expertise when it comes to epyx, its customers and its products, and will all play an important part in helping us meet our objectives.”

The appointment of Meadows and promotion of both Lees and Wakeman within the epyx business come just a month after Johannah Hancox and Natalie Thurman joined the company as key account manager and strategic account manager.
