SPENCER Halil is the new chief commercial officer of broker funder Alphabet and joins the leasing company’s management committee.
Halil takes over from Simon Carr, who has been in the role since 2017 when he joined from LeasePlan.
As director of Alphera – a BMW brand providing flexible finance, lease and insurance products – Halil has taken the company through a period of great growth.
Having worked in the motor finance industry for more than 22 years, I am a firm believer in the power of people and know the best results are achieved through strong teamwork. I’m delighted to be joining such a high performing and driven team, bringing my own experience to complement their work. Together, we will continue to develop the next stage of Alphabet’s commercial strategy and maintain the company’s industry-leading position.

“I’d also like to say a personal thank you to Simon for all his work and achievements during his time at Alphabet, and particularly for extending his time with us to enable a smooth transition and handover in the commercial division.”
