Amanda Stophel

The Ward Organization, the parent company to Encore Luxury Coach Leasing, Encore Music Group and its affiliate companies, has elevated Amanda Stophel to Chief Operating Officer. After previously serving as President of Encore Luxury Coach Leasing, Stophel will now oversee the day-to-day operations and execution of all Encore and Ward-affiliated companies.

“Amanda is an absolute force and instrumentally shaped the culture and service standards that have defined what Encore is today,” says The Ward Organizations Founder and CEO, Justin Ward. “Her transition to COO marks a natural next step as we continue to scale our operations and deepen our commitment to delivering a premium and serving music.”

The company’s fleet of over 175 luxury coaches serves a confidential list of many major names in music with three offices across the nation.
