Alec Hagey brings over 36 years of valuable experience with Toyota, holding various key positions that encompass sales, marketing, operations, and financial services. Previously, he was the Senior Vice President and COO at TFS, overseeing sales and marketing strategies for both TFS and Lexus Financial Services. Hagey's expertise in these areas makes him a fitting leader to step into Cooke's long-held position.
"Alec's profound expertise and strong relationships within our organization equip him well to steer TFS towards a successful future," Templin continued. "He understands our customers, dealerships, and business model, placing him in an excellent position to build upon the solid foundation Scott has established."
