Tanya Boczek, Business Development Manager of Transfac Capital, will lead business development efforts in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia pursuing relationships within the oil and gas industry.

Mike Schepper, marketing director of Transfac Capital, stated, "Transfac understands the importance of having a 'boots on the ground' mentality when working to offer financial services to the oil and gas industry. Tanya gives Transfac the ability to offer our services through a direct and personal approach. Her knowledge of the industry, along with her experience handling the funding needs of small businesses, are notable strengths that Transfac will use to propel our Company's expansion efforts into the Midwestern Tri-State region."
