FOR 20 YEARS OF SERVICE This past year was especially significant for Firestone Financial because David and Helen joined Firestone in 1986. The business was very different then. Scott Cooper, Executive VP & CFO explains: “There were no computers, palm pilots or cell phones. In those days, Firestone dealt with a dozen banks, each with a manual check book, its own loan officer and its own reporting requirements. All records were kept manually on cards or ledgers except for the loan and lease accounting system. Microsoft Windows, Excel and Word didn’t exist. Fax machines were just becoming affordable. Typewriters, adding machines and carbon paper were the standard office equipment.” David joined Firestone as Controller. He quickly became involved in every aspect of the business. Cooper says, “David learned the business from the ground up. It was his vision, energy and hands-on approach that transformed every area of the company.” David was instrumental in changing Firestone from an old-fashioned company to a 21st century company. Helen Mooney began work at Firestone as a Credit Analyst. Larry Yaffe, Senior VP – Sales & Marketing says, “Helen’s commitment to providing excellence in service to Firestone’s vendors and customers serves as a model for all of us in the Sales Department. Yaffe continues, “Firestone Financial has become the successful national equipment finance industry leader it is today thanks in large measure to the exceptional efforts of individuals like David and Helen. When you think about it, Firestone recently turned 40, and David and Helen have been involved for half of the company’s life. They deserve special recognition at this milestone.” About Firestone Financial Corp. Contact: 2007-02-08 |
