Boca Raton, Fla. (Dec. 31, 2012) – Intercontinental Warranty Services, Inc. (IWS), a provider of after-market vehicle protection services to credit unions throughout the country, announces the addition of Doug Daniel in the role of National Sales Manager. A veteran of the automotive finance and service contract industries, Daniel has more than 35 years of experience working in finance and sales management roles.

Hawk, President/ CEO. “I’m pleased to have Doug join us at IWS and know that our clients will benefit from his considerable expertise.”
Among his abundant experience, Daniel has worked in all aspects of consumer finance, including for Royal Administration Services, Inc. and Triad Financial Corporation (division of Ford Motor Company), where he was responsible for the sales staff and provided training on aftermarket products such as vehicle service agreements (VSA).
