PRA Group, the globally expanding, publicly traded consumer debt collection company, has brought in Nancy Porter as VP of corporate communications.
Porter takes the reins from Rick Goulart, who has left PRA, which changed its name from Portfolio Recovery Associates on the $1.3B acquisition of Swedish debt collector Aktiv Kapital AS this month.
Porter makes the move from Monarch Financial Holdings, where she was senior VP of marketing for the NASDAQ-traded bank holding company. She ran her own PR shop for three years around stints at Chartway Federal Credit Union, Fareed & Company, and Ogilvy & Mather, among others.
PRA, which buys up "non-performing consumer debt," posted third quarter revenues of $239M (up 21%) with net income of $51.2M. Cash collections were $372.7M at the Virginia-based company.
