ApplePie Capital announced Jamie Davis, CFE, has joined its team as Vice President of Business Development.

Davis brings 15 years of franchise development experience, most recently serving as Executive Director of Franchise Development for FirstLight Home Care Franchising where he oversaw substantial brand growth. He brings a wealth of expertise and relationship building skills to deepen ApplePie’s focus on franchising.

“Of the 15 years I spent in franchise development, I probably spent 10 of them waiting for franchisees to get financed,” said Davis, reflecting on why he decided to join ApplePie. “I understand the challenges FranDev professionals face every day, and when I saw that ApplePie was looking to grow their team, I jumped at the opportunity to help franchisors and franchisees alike solve their capital markets problems using ApplePie’s unique approach.”

Ronald Feldman, CFE, Chief Development Officer at ApplePie, added “Jamie is a seasoned franchise development professional who will add a layer of expertise for our company to help franchisors scale their systems with an integrated franchisee finance program. ApplePie is the only 100 percent franchise-focused lender in the world, and having Jamie on our team will help us better integrate our finance programs into franchisor development systems.”

ApplePie Capital provides financial choices for franchise entrepreneurs at every stage of their development, with a diverse and growing network of capital providers and financing solutions, including growth capital, SBA and conventional loans, and equipment financing.
