Equipment finance provider names CEO

Axsesstoday, a provider of equipment finance for hospitality and transportation businesses, has appointed Craig Edwards as Chief Executive Officer.

Edwards, who has 30 years of industry experience, will lead the company into its next phase of growth following privatisation and investment from Cerberus Capital Management.

Before joining Axsesstoday, Edwards was the head of sales for Pepper Asset Finance where he led the development of the company's aggregator and broker channels.

"Craig's experience and existing relationships will add significant strength and expertise to Axsesstoday and its existing leadership team," said Daniel Dejanovic, Senior Managing Director of Cerberus Global Investments. "With its new partnership with Cerberus and the appointment of Craig as CEO, Axsesstoday will be able to strengthen its business and identify strategic opportunities to expand its platform for the benefit of its customers in Australia."

Edwards says that Axsesstoday has a compelling proposition for the industries they serve. "The company has a strong existing offering with the potential to launch new products, all of which can help brokers meet the evolving needs of their customers in an easy-to-use, technology-driven way."

Axsesstoday is a privately-owned company that is part of Cerberus' global portfolio.
