President of Prestige Financial Services, Inc., Bryant Henrie, announced today the promotion of Aaron Dalton to Chief Financial Officer. Dalton previously served as the auto finance company’s Senior Vice President of Structured Finance & Business Development.
“Aaron is a valuable member of our team at Prestige,” said Henrie. “His promotion to CFO is the obvious choice for us, given his knowledge of the industry and his proven track record in developing solid, long-term relationships with the banks, investors and rating agencies that support our business.”
Since joining Prestige in 2001, Dalton’s responsibilities have ranged from managing the company’s marketing communications and new business initiatives, to assisting in risk management and the formulation of growth strategy. Directing Prestige’s structured finance activities, he has secured or renewed more than $2 billion in funding through several transactions that include some of the largest in the history of Prestige’s parent, the Larry H. Miller Group of Companies.
Prestige was founded in 1994 as an affiliate of the Miller Group, which includes the N.B.A.’s Utah Jazz and the country’s tenth-largest auto dealership network. Today, Prestige manages a loan portfolio of $700 million and provides consumer finance solutions for nearly 2,000 dealerships in 45 states.
Dalton came to Prestige after working as chief operating officer at Automatic Web, Inc., which ran websites such as UtahCars.com and ArizonaCars.com, prior to which he was the marketing manager at Cincinnati Museum Center.
A Utah native, Dalton has a BA cum laude from Brigham Young University and three graduate degrees, including an MBA from the University of Cincinnati. He serves on the board of the National Auto Finance Association and is a Boy Scout merit badge counselor. He is also in his seventh year as a member of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
