David Cohen, president and CEO of Firestone Financial Corporation in the US, has been elected chairman of the board of the American Amusement Machine Association, an industry trade group with over 100 members across the country.
The group is comprised of coin-operated amusement distributors, manufacturers and suppliers. The election took place at AAMA’s annual Distributor Gala last month in Illinois, which was attended by 140 guests.
Cohen joined Firestone Financial 23 years ago. In 2000, he was named CEO. Since then he has helped transform the company into one of the largest independent providers of financing to the coin-op amusement, vending and carnival industries. Over the last decade, Firestone has funded over 25,000 contracts to over 8,000 customers.
