Portfolio has appointed Jim Cunha as a managing director for sales and agent development. Cunha brings a wealth of experience to the role, having served as an F&I director, dealership principal, agency principal, platform president and reinsurance specialist.
“I am excited to expand my 14 years of creating wealth for our dealer partners through Portfolio’s industry-leading platform for the benefit of our dealer and agent partners and their families,” Cunha said.

“Jim’s contributions to Portfolio’s success and that of our dealer partners can’t be measured only in terms of dollars and cents,” said David Neuenschwander, the company’s chief sales officer. “He drives real results and builds lasting partnerships with innate leadership qualities, hard work and expertise in every area of the dealership enterprise. We expect great things from him in the next chapter of a storied career.” Cunha holds a bachelor’s of science in business management from Charter Oak College.
