Northpoint is pleased to announce the appointment of two team members including Lisa Yates, Portfolio Manager 1 and Max Cummins, Inside Sales Representative.
Lisa Yates brings 20+ years of proven financial management experience to her new role, having previously worked in loan workouts, recovery and portfolio management at Wells Fargo where she managed complex commercial, real state and SBA problem loans; at Textron Financial in recovery, portfolio and special assets positions; as an area manager at Conseco; and former account manager at Bank of America. Lisa holds a Six Sigma Green Belt Certification.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Lisa to the Northpoint team where her deep expertise in portfolio management, loan workouts, and recovery strategies — combined with her proven leadership in high-stakes environments — makes her an exceptional fit for the Portfolio Manager I role,” said Gary Childress, VP of Marine Operations. “Lisa’s track record of driving results and building strong client relationships will be a tremendous asset as we continue to strengthen our dealer and supplier partnerships across the marine industry.”
In his new role as Inside Sales Representative, Max Cummins will actively support the onboarding of new marine dealers, ensuring a smooth and informed introduction to Northpoint’s tailored floorplan financing solutions. He will also work to continue building strong relationships with existing marine dealers, collaborating to uncover growth opportunities while helping to streamline the financing experience to maximize success.
Max launched his professional career at Northpoint upon graduation from the University of Georgia, with his initial role in the Marine Operations department as an account service coordinator. His hard work has facilitated ongoing professional growth, as he was promoted to account manager in the Diversified Products Operations team, a post he held for 2.5 years prior to his new promotion.
“After more than three years of outstanding work within our Operations Group, Max is taking the next step in his Northpoint journey,” said Troy Stenersen, Inside Sales Manager. “We’re beyond excited to see him bring his experience, energy and dedication to the Marine Sales team and are confident he’s going to make a huge impact in this new role.”
Congratulations, Lisa and Max!
