BMO Harris Bank announced it continues the national expansion of its Asset-Based Lending team with the opening of a new office in Irvine, CA. The office will be led by Tom Sinclair, who will be focused on corporate clients, business development and referral sources throughout the western U.S.

“We’re one of the largest ABL lenders in the country, and expanding into California was a natural next step for the business,” said Mike Scolaro, managing director and head, ABL, BMO Harris Bank. “We’re hiring a proven leader in Tom Sinclair, someone very well known in the industry who has extensive expertise creating and leading a regional Asset-Based Lending office.”

The move follows the recent opening of a BMO Harris ABL office in Atlanta.
