Culain Capital announced that Mark J. Simshauser has joined our team as the Northeast Senior Vice President responsible for building and driving business development throughout the region. Simshauser has over 23 years of middle market direct lending experience with his career beginning in 1999 at FINOVA Capital, where he developed financing opportunities across the country for multiple financing groups of the parent company. Since then, Simshauser has built commercial loan portfolios for national and regional banks and “non-bank” independent finance companies driving loan growth and institutional profitability throughout the Northeast.

Culain Capital believes that Simshauser's extensive knowledge of the Northeast lending and smaller business market will be a huge asset towards establishing a bigger presence in the marketplace.

"I have known Sims for a long time and have always been impressed with his desire to truly help his clients. We are all about finding solutions for the companies that seek our help versus just trying to fit them into our credit box so Mark will fit in perfectly with our team,” said James Franz, President.

“I have always been wanting to be part of a truly entrepreneurial platform further supported with great senior leadership in Jamie, Jim, Joe and Fred…this is now a reality that I am very excited to be part of,” said Senior Vice President, Mark Simshauser.

Culain Capital is excited to see Simshauser expand the Culain Capital brand and portfolio growth throughout the Northeast and view him as a great addition to the origination team.
