Experience

   Post Road Equipment Finance

   Feb 2022 — Present · Westport, CT, US

   Since joining Post Road Equipment Finance in November 2018 as employee No. 7, I witnessed and supported Post Road’s remarkable growth from a start up to a mature firm that executed on multiple private and public securitizations and a successful sale to current owner Benefit Street Partners. Over the years, I have underwritten many single B/triple credits across numerous industries, developing increased expertise in manufacturing, auto, and aerospace sectors, and earning accolades from colleagues and customers as a “star deal closer.” Today, I continue to underwrite highly complex transactions, collaborate with legal, operations and customers in documentation negotiation, and oversee subsequent portfolio management. Launched in June 2017, Post Road Equipment Finance provides loans and leases ranging in size from $5 million to $75 million secured by essential-use equipment. The platform provides financing to both privately owned (sponsor and non-sponsor) and publicly traded companies across a wide range of collateral types and industries (including, but not limited to, construction, distribution, energy, food processing, health care, information technology, manufacturing, mining, paper & packaging, and transportation).EEF is a portfolio company of Benefit Street Partners (~$40B AUM), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Franklin Templeton (~$1.5 trillion AUM).
