Joe Rotunda, CEO, EZCORP
Commenting on this appointment, EZCORP
President and Chief Executive Officer, Joe
Rotunda, stated, "EZCORP continues to grow
and evolve as a global financial services
company. In the past three years we have
grown our pawn presence by 135 stores,
including our entry into Mexico. During that
period, we have also added 219 signature
loan stores and two new loan product
offerings in the United States while
developing plans for entry into Canada by
the end of this calendar year. In order to
accommodate this explosive growth, it is
important that we strategically structure
our organization to provide strong
leadership and direction. We are fortunate
to have an executive like Eric, who has the
experience and capability to assume this
important new position heading up all of our
pawn operations in the Americas."
Rotunda continued, "I'm also pleased to announce the
promotion of Joe Borbely, who will assume the role of President,
Signature Loans. Since joining us in February as EZMONEY Vice
President of Stores, Joe has done an outstanding job of
establishing his leadership in the EZMONEY segment. His previous
experience in multi-unit management and his knowledge of the
payday lending business have positioned him well to move into
this larger role in a seamless fashion."
EZCORP operates a total of 898 locations in the U.S. and
Mexico consisting of 371 U.S. pawnshops, 45 pawnshops in Mexico
and 482 U.S. signature loan stores.
