Culture of Innovation – Dedicated Financial GBC



Shawn Smith, CEO and Founder, Dedicated Financial GBC

Providing innovative distressed asset solutions to commercial funders, Dedicated Financial GBC seeks to shatter the stereotype of a portfolio management company through multiple initiatives.

Dedicated Financial GBC provides distressed asset solutions to commercial funders, acting as a single and convenient resource that provides a complete range of services: collections, portfolio servicing, equipment remarketing, voluntary and involuntary repossessions, litigation and bankruptcy management, account scoring and consulting.

Dedicated’s cultural innovation is to focus every aspect of its business on being purpose-driven. As a result, Dedicated gives team members the ability to direct a portion of their own business units’ profit to the causes of their choice, and the opportunity to use specially-allocated paid time off, in order to individually support causes of their choosing. More specifically, every Dedicated team member is allocated 40 hours of volunteer paid time off each year so that they don’t have to choose between their paychecks, their weekends and their volunteer work.

In addition, Dedicated team members are encouraged to connect company leadership with nonprofits seeking corporate sponsorship. As just one example, Dedicated’s collection team manager is passionate about supporting American Gold Star Mothers, which is a nonprofit that helps veterans and the families of fallen soldiers. He therefore connected this nonprofit with Dedicated’s leadership team, which then developed and implemented metrics that direct a portion of Dedicated’s equipment repossession and equipment remarketing business units’ profits to support this cause.

“Dedicated Financial GBC acts as an ethical force for good by finding viable solutions to real-world financing problems.”
