Neptune Financial Inc. (NepFin), a technology-enabled lower middle market commercial lender, announced that it hired Kevin Bogenreif as Director of Originations. In this role, Bogenreif will tap his direct experience in the commercial lending space and spearhead initiatives surrounding loan originations for the company.

“We are excited to be adding Kevin to our growing team,” said Albert Periu, NepFin Co-Founder & CEO. “Kevin’s years of experience in structuring and negotiating financial solutions for borrowers to capitalize their businesses and enable long-term value creation will be highly valuable to the lower middle-market businesses that NepFin serves.”

Prior to NepFin, Kevin was Vice President of Corporate Banking and Private Equity Sponsor Lending with Texas Capital Bank. During his time at Texas Capital Bank (TCB), Kevin built a portfolio of clients generating nearly $8 million in annual profits for TCB and was responsible for developing, structuring, and closing over $450 million in aggregate lending transactions to support middle market businesses. Prior to Texas Capital Bank, Kevin worked at BB&T, a $200+ billion super-regional bank and was a graduate of their Leadership Development Program.

“The middle market has been ripe for more flexible capital solutions, which NepFin is delivering through its unique commercial lending platform,” Bogenreif said. “I’m looking forward to being part of NepFin’s growing team and being on the cutting edge of innovation with NepFin’s differentiated technology-enabled approach helping to more easily deliver growth capital to lower middle market businesses across the country.”
