At Avtal, we’re combining digital expertise with the operational excellence of agencies to create an omnichannel experience that serves both businesses and consumers.
As we continue to grow, we’re focused on building a team that understands the complexity of both sides and can bridge the two with practical insight and proven leadership. That’s why we’re thrilled to welcome John McNamara as our new Chief Growth Officer.
John brings more than three decades of experience in financial services and debt collection. Most recently, he served as Principal Assistant Director of Markets at the CFPB, where he played a leading role in shaping consumer protection policy. He also held executive roles at LiveVox and co-founded Fidelis Recovery Solutions.
His reputation in the industry is unmatched. Our President, Joe Gelbard, previously worked with John at LiveVox and saw the impact of John’s ability to grow a business by deeply understanding the needs of the agency and the end consumer. That strength aligns perfectly with Avtal’s mission.
“John’s unparalleled expertise in consumer finance, deep regulatory knowledge, and commitment to ethical innovation will be invaluable as we continue to build solutions that help businesses communicate more effectively and responsibly with their customers,” said Khaled Bitar, CEO of Avtal.
“I’m incredibly excited to join Avtal at this pivotal moment,” said John McNamara. “Having dedicated much of my career to ensuring fairness and transparency in financial markets, I see Avtal’s technology as a crucial tool in helping businesses meet regulatory obligations while delivering better, and more compassionate customer experiences. I look forward to contributing to Avtal’s mission and growth.”
We’re proud to have John on board and excited for what’s ahead.
