Ten-year auto finance veteran Scott Maybee has been named president of NextGear Capital after serving as general manager of Manheim Northstar Minnesota.
ATLANTA — Scott Maybee has been named president of NextGear Capital (div. Cox Automotive), effective today. Maybee comes to NextGear from Manheim Northstar Minnesota, where he was general manager and responsible for all facets of the Minneapolis-based operation.
Prior to joining Manheim, Maybee spent 10 years with Nissan North America and Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation, rising to vice president of sales operations for Nissan Canada Finance.
