NETSOL Technologies Inc., a provider of AI-enabled solutions and services powering OEMs, dealerships and financial institutions to sell, finance and lease assets, announced the appointment of Michael Ramsey as Vice President of Sales, Transcend Finance, Americas, based in Austin, Texas. The appointment strengthens the company's U.S. sales and leadership team as it pursues growth in the Americas. Ramsey reports to Faizaan Ghauri, President of NETSOL Technologies Americas.
Ramsey will lead U.S. growth for Transcend Finance, NETSOL's finance and leasing platform for auto captives, banks and asset finance companies. His responsibilities include converting the company's enterprise opportunities into signed agreements, developing new business and instilling a disciplined sales operating model. Ramsey will represent NETSOL at industry events across the U.S., including the ELFA Annual Convention, the Auto Finance Summit and the AFSA Vehicle Finance Conference.
The appointment follows a year in which NETSOL deepened its presence in the U.S. market, including BMO Equipment Finance's decision to upgrade from LeasePak to Transcend Finance, and reflects the company's focus on transitioning its long-standing North American install base to Transcend Finance and converting its growing pipeline.
Ramsey brings more than thirty years of leadership across enterprise sales, pre-sales, solution consulting and strategic alliances, specializing in asset finance across leasing, loans, rental, fleet and equipment. Most recently, he was Vice President of Global Sales and Solutions at FIT-Global, an SAP-certified partner, where he led global sales and pre-sales organizations for enterprise transformation programs across fleet, equipment, rental and leasing.
Before this, Ramsey served as Senior Director of Sales and Alliances at Odessa Technologies, where he built seven strategic alliances. Earlier, as Vice President of Global Solutions at LeaseAccelerator, he led the company's solutions strategy for the regulatory finance market.
His enterprise software foundation includes eleven years at SAP America, where he led global business transformation programs across the banking and financial services sector, and an earlier role at Oracle Corporation, where as Director of Finance Consulting he directed delivery worldwide for Fortune 1000 clients.
"The U.S. is the largest asset finance market in the world and we are investing aggressively in it," said Faizaan Ghauri, President of NETSOL Technologies Americas. "Michael has sold into this market, built alliances across it and delivered for large lenders for more than three decades. He will lead our U.S. sales effort for Transcend Finance, working with our existing LeasePak customers on their upgrade path and with new lenders who want a single platform for origination and servicing."
"The asset finance industry is at a turning point and NETSOL is one of very few companies with the platform, the domain depth and the customer relationships to lead it," said Ramsey. "Transcend Finance gives lenders the modern, connected foundation they need to move beyond legacy systems. I look forward to working with the team to build on NETSOL's momentum in the U.S. and to deliver measurable outcomes for our customers."
