John Evans has been promoted to executive vice president and
managing director of international operations at Key Equipment
Finance – several steps up from his current role as managing
director and executive vice president of the Asian Pacific
business.
 
Evans will oversee all of Key’s activities in Europe, Canada and
the Asia Pacific and his role will include streamlining the
company’s different regional technologies and processes. Evans will
relocate from Australia to the United Kingdom at the beginning of
2008, to operate from the Ascot office.

Adam Warner, president of Key Equipment Finance said: “John is
uniquely qualified for this expanded role based not only on his
knowledge and understanding of the organization in the United
States and abroad, but also through his proven track record leading
and motivating teams to achieve corporate objectives.”

Evans has a long and distinguished history at Key. In 1997 he
was appointed as European portfolio manager, but soon moved on to
become vice president of European commercial operations in
2000.
Evans then gained an expatriate assignment as senior vice president
of global finance and treasury at Key’s worldwide headquarters in
Superior, Colorado in 2002, and in 2004 was again promoted to
senior vice president of integration and technology. He was
appointed to his current role in 2006, which was based in Sydney,
Australia.
