In her new role, Ikonomides will oversee VLS' expansion efforts, focusing on
business process outsourcing, which includes the management of process driven
installment credit portfolios; standby servicing to the securitization markets;
and management of rental programs for equipment manufacturers and associated
resellers. She also will lead the growth strategy into new verticals, including
unsecured asset-backed securities and consumer debt.
'Louise is an accomplished senior executive and an original founder of VLS who
played a key role in the division's foundation and growth,' said Naeem Ghauri,
president and head of global sales for NetSol as well as chairman of VLS. 'Her
knowledge of the asset-backed industry and our customer base will be highly
valued as we work to obtain large scale business process outsourcing contracts
and build upon our strong brand in the marketplace.'
Ikonomides previously served as a regional manager for VLS in Liverpool. She
also held various positions at the company and was instrumental in opening the
North West England satellite office, which delivers specialist audit,
collections and back-office support. She joined VLS as a founding shareholder
in 1999 and played a key role in the company's foundation and growth in London.
Ikonomides also has extensive sector knowledge, including block discounting as
well as vendor and SME finance.
'VLS' reputation for discreet and exceptional efficiency, combined with the
fact that we are the only U.K.-based, asset-backed securitization servicer
rated by Fitch, positions us to build upon our market position across each of
our key verticals,' said Ikonomides. 'With the people, technology and will to
build on the success of current services, and confidence and renewed optimism
in the asset-backed market, I am very excited about our growth potential moving
forward.'
