T.C. Wilde
Senior Vice President and Senior Account/Portfolio Manager
Axiom Bank

T.C. Wilde completed a long-term career objective in late 2022, as she joined Axiom Bank to help build its newly launched commercial finance division. After holding progressively more responsibility throughout her more than 25 years in the asset-based lending industry at institutions such as UMB Bank, Sterling National Bank, Chase Business Credit, BBVA Compass, CIT, PNC Business Credit and Hibernia National Bank, Wilde says she is excited about this new opportunity at Axiom Bank.

Throughout her career, Wilde has proven to be engaging in her overall approach to business. Adept in portfolio management, risk mitigation and credit analysis, she is able to assess situations extremely quickly and then put resources and recommendations into play effectively. She also works with other leaders and management teams to streamline processes and procedures. Whether she is a lead on a deal or working on a project with others, she knows how to get the job done. She consistently takes a leadership role in writing ABL memorandum and procedures, credit policy and administrative forms and actively fosters team building to ensure a smooth process for clients and cost savings for the financial institution she represents.

During 2022, she managed to structure and close numerous complex and unique ABL deals to enable businesses to survive the economic downturns brought on by supply chain disruption, interest rate hikes and increasing inflation.

To Wilde, mentoring younger employees is a passion, as she enjoys providing guidance to the next generation to ensure they enjoy long-term career success. While joining Axiom Bank was a highlight of 2022, one of her greatest achievements from the year was mentoring a junior account executive and walking them through the process of successfully closing deals.
