Credential Leasing and Finance is very proud of the talent and experience of the individuals that have been chosen to successfully run our company. The 4 people that manage our company today have a combined experience of over 150 years working in the finance and leasing industry. We operate 2 distinct offices that have allowed us to do business in every state in the country. Each office is individually run by one of our officers and almost all decisions are decided by that manager and that particular office. These officers include:
Andrew Schwab – President and CEO
Andy has been working for Credential Leasing since 1979. He has been involved in virtually all aspects of the business from sales to administration to management. Prior to working with Credential, he was employed with a wholesale electronics distributor that had existed since the early part of the 20th century. He was one of the main people responsible for helping to initiate two other businesses that allowed the company to move forward and prosper after they lost the two major product lines that had represented 90% of their business.
