SKILLS
ABOUT DAVE STEWART
Over the course of my career in commercial lending and fintech, I\'ve helped originate over $500 million in business funding for small and mid-sized businesses across the country. That number isn\'t just a milestone, it represents thousands of entrepreneurs who got the capital they needed to grow, hire, and scale.I\'ve built and led sales teams, developed partner channels from the ground up, and worked across every layer of the funding ecosystem — from operations and underwriting to business development and strategic alliances. My background spans merchant cash advances, revenue-based financing, SBA products, and junior debt facilities, giving me a 360-degree view of how capital moves through the market.At Magenta, I\'ve taken on an expanded role leading strategic partnerships and market expansion; identifying high value opportunities, securing new alliances, and driving direct acquisition strategies at scale. Before that, I built and managed a team of funding advisors, created sales infrastructure from scratch, and consistently delivered top-line results.I lead with a partner-first mentality. Whether I\'m working with ISOs, referral partners, or directly with business owners, I focus on win-win outcomes, long-term relationships, and adding real value on every interaction- not just closing deals.If you\'re in fintech, commercial lending, or small business finance and want to connect with someone who\'s been in the trenches, I\'m always open to a conversation.
