Crestmark, the Commercial Finance division of Pathward, formerly known as MetaBank, announced the addition of five new members to its sales team, and the promotion of Dean Allman.

Allman joined Crestmark in 2018 as a national account executive, and now represents Crestmark Equipment Finance as the western region sales manager. He is based in Reno, Nevada, and reports to James Farrell, national sales manager. His consistent success in delivering strategic solutions for clients across a diverse industry base, as well as the experience and insight he provides the team, have led to this new role within the group leadership.

Previously, he worked for Cisco Systems Capital, where he was financial solutions manager; Dell Financial Services, where he was account manager; and Sun Microsystems Inc., where he was regional leasing manager.

Before joining Crestmark, he was a senior vice president at 36th Street Capital, where he was responsible for direct sourcing of equipment deals nationwide. Prior to 36th Street Capital, Bollinger was at CapX Partners (now Accord Financial) for 16 years, where he held roles as controller, and in underwriting, documentation, and portfolio. Bollinger earned a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, and is a registered certified public accountant (CPA).

Houng’s professional career in equipment finance spans over 12 years, delivering client solutions with a focus on business development, lease structuring and credit underwriting.  His most recent experience includes five years at SLR Equipment Finance as vice president. Prior to that, he served as regional sales manager with Summit Funding Group, Inc. and senior account executive at California First National Bank. Houng has a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from the University of California Riverside in Riverside, California.

Robert Abraham, Andrew Disch and Nicholas Wagner have joined Crestmark as business development officers in the working capital group, and will be responsible for business development of the company’s commercial lending offerings.  

Abraham is based in Cliffside Park, New Jersey, and reports to Mark Collins, eastern division sales manager. Abraham brings more than 20 years’ experience in asset-based, middle-market and factoring transactions, operations management research and analysis and financial products to the business. Most recently, he served as vice president at Entrepreneur Growth Capital, where he originated asset-based transactions for two years. Prior to that, he served as asset-based lending, vice president for Signature Bank. Abraham earned a Bachelor of Science in Finance and Economics from Ithaca College in Ithaca, New York, and a Master of Business Administration in Finance and Marketing from the University of Hartford in West Hartford, Connecticut.
