Fiore Joins UDS Development Team
United Development Systems announced the addition of 30-year industry veteran Doug Fiore to its Southeast F&I development team.


CLEARWATER, Fla. — United Development Systems Inc. announced the addition of Doug Fiore to the company’s growing development team. Fiore will serve as a retail operations specialist in the Southeast region.
“Doug has spent over 30 years in the automotive retail environment, with the bulk of that time spent training and developing front-end retail operations,” said UDS President Randy Crisorio. “Adding the wide scope of knowledge Doug brings, specifically in technology, further enhances our ability to deliver on our value proposition.”
Fiore transitioned to the service side after more than a decade in retail. He has led development teams in the F&I space, both with independent and factory providers, and ultimately branched into lending and, most recently, technology, as national desking manager with RouteOne. He is expected to have wide-ranging interactions with UDS dealer partners throughout the Southeast.
