Management

James W. Doster
President & CEO

Jim is a graduate of Bob Jones University and a CPA, State of Georgia. Upon graduation, he worked as an accountant for Arthur Andersen & Company. In 1989, Jim joined GE Capital as a National Account Manager and was responsible for generating and maintaining vendor relationships in the office equipment and computer industries. Four years later, Jim joined Lease Plan USA (a subsidiary of ABN AMRO) as a Vice President and successfully closed over $45 million in middle market transactions over the next three years.

Jim was then chosen to launch Synovus Leasing Company, a new leasing subsidiary of Synovus Financial Corp. As President, Jim created the entire infrastructure — direct sales force, operations group, accounting and tax, documentation, and third party alliances. The company achieved profitability in the second year of operation and exceeded all volume, revenue and net income goals, generating $23mm, $36mm and $47mm of funded lease volume in the first three years of operation.

Jim Doster established American Bank Leasing in April 2001.

Jeffrey G. Schubert
EVP, Bank & Vendor Programs

Jeff is a graduate of Boston University (BSBA). He started his career at Eastman Kodak Company where he held a number of key positions all over the country for a period of 14 years. From his first position as a Marketing Representative in New York City, he transferred into the credit department as a District Credit Supervisor in Atlanta. Jeff's performance in that role earned him the distinction of being selected to steward Kodak's entry into the commercial leasing business as the first Leasing Manager of Eastman Kodak Credit Corporation (EKCC).

Promoted in 1989 to manage EKCC's Leasing "Hotline" out of Kodak's Rochester headquarters, Jeff's organization provided technical leasing information to over 3,000 Kodak business unit sales representatives. From there, Jeff was promoted to Director of Field Support and then to Regional Leasing Manager in San Francisco where he managed the activities of nine District Leasing Managers and staff for a ten-state western territory.

Jeff left EKCC in 1995 to start the syndication department for Lease Plan USA in Atlanta, where he syndicated over $175mm in volume and generated over $2.3mm in fee income. When the division was transferred to EAB in 2000, Jeff was promoted to Division Manager and successfully managed a new middle market division until the company was sold to CitiCapital in 2001.

Jeff Schubert joined American Bank Leasing in July 2002 as Executive Vice President of Bank and Vendor Programs.
