Avery the Intern’s Exclusive Access to VP of OPTIMUS Financing

Hi, my name is Avery, I’m an 8th grader at Murray-Lasaine Montessori School in Charleston, SC. I recently spent time with the OPTIMUS team to learn about financing in the age of technology. Here’s what I discovered when I interviewed Matthew Bratsis, VP of OPTIMUS.

He’s been in this industry since before I was born

Financing has evolved from consumers without money looking to buy a major purchase, like a home or new HVAC system to more of an experience. Now consumers are using the ease of technology (think Amazon) to increase their buying power and leverage their cash.

OPTIMUS supports contractors with financing between $700-$800 MILLION a year, (that’s a lot to me!).

My greatest takeaway from my time with Mr. Bratsis is that his team, “makes it easier for people to buy things”.

I was also able to spend time with other members of the OPTIMUS team and I learned that it’s VERY IMPORTANT for contractors to offer financing to every single customer.

Thank you to the OPTIMUS team for allowing me to intern, I enjoyed the experience.

Avery is an 8th grade Montessori student in Charleston, SC. He enjoys fishing and boating (and video games when Mom allows).
