APCO Names David Vickers CFO
The company’s new CFO brings 35 years of experience in the insurance and automotive industries to the role, having most recently served as executive vice president and CFO of The Warranty Group.

NORCROSS, Ga. — APCO Holdings, home of the EasyCare, GWC Warranty, Covideo and SAVY brands, has named David Vickers as the company’s new CFO. He brings 35 years of experience in the insurance and automotive industries to the role, having most recently served as executive vice president and CFO of The Warranty Group.
APCO Holdings Chairman Larry Dorfman said the addition of Vickers will help propel an ongoing effort to rapidly grow and diversify the company.
“You can’t succeed in business, and you certainly can’t expect to grow, without great people,” said Dorfman. “David Vickers knows our industry, believes in our mission, lives our core values and is a perfect fit for our company at this time of rapid opportunity and growth.”
Vickers’ career began with a nine-year stint in the insurance division at Ernst & Young. He has served as CFO for both publicly-held as well as private equity-backed organizations. His executive skillset includes strategic planning and analysis, financial reporting, tax planning, new business development, and mergers and acquisitions.
“I couldn’t be more excited to be part of this great senior management team. They are quality people and they have fun together,” Vickers said. “I am happy to have hit the ground running, and I look forward to helping the company grow while adhering to our core values.”
