Exeter leader named Remarketing Executive of the Year

Exeter Finance LLC, a leading indirect auto finance company, has announced that Stephanie Compton, Vice President of Asset Remarketing, has been named the 2023 National Remarketing Executive of the Year. The honor was announced last Friday by Cherokee Media Group in an article published on Auto Remarketing’s website and will be formally presented at this year’s Used Car Week industry conference, where Compton is also set to participate in a panel discussion.

As an asset remarketing leader at Exeter, Compton is responsible for all the company’s asset-disposal efforts across the United States. This includes providing leadership for two-dozen regional asset remarketing managers, auction coordinators, and other support staff. She is recognized for her in-depth industry knowledge and was honored for her career accomplishments when she was named to Cherokee Media Group’s 2020 Women in Remarketing list.

In announcing the award, Senior Editor Nick Zulovich said the Remarketing Executive of the Year program recognizes a leader who thrives in one of the most involved parts of auto financing. “Remarketing is one of the most complex activities in all of automotive since it can involve many different companies and service providers to get used vehicles processed accurately and where they need to be,” Zulovich said. “Stephanie Compton’s company colleagues and industry contemporaries all praise her for her ability to navigate those demands with ease, representing the essence of what it means to be the National Remarketing Executive of the Year.”

Before joining Exeter in 2019, Compton held remarketing roles at Santander Consumer USA, Diversified Vehicle Services, and PAR North America. She earned an Associate of Science degree in Business at Indiana Wesleyan University in Marion, Indiana.

Used Car Week combines six different conferences from remarketing to dealer-consignor relations to auto finance over four days to discuss current trends, forecasting for the future, and prepping for the road ahead. This year’s conference will take place at the Westin Kierland Resort and Spa in Scottsdale from Nov. 6-9. Compton’s presentation is scheduled for Nov. 9 at 1:45 p.m. MST, where panel leaders will offer perspectives on how the wholesale market has performed this year and what kept them on successful paths.
