FGI Worldwide hired Ronnie Bloom as the firm’s newest managing director. Based in Toronto, Bloom will be responsible for growing and nurturing FGI’s partnerships within multiple Canadian markets.
“We feel so lucky that Ronnie has chosen to join FGI,” David DiPiero, CEO of FGI, said. “Everyone on our team is aware of his impressive career and are inspired to work alongside him. We are eager to see how Ronnie can take the foundation we built in Canada to the next level as managing director, especially given his skillful presence and national advantage.”
Bloom has two decades of experience in the financial sector, including expertise in asset-based lending and credit. In his new role, he will oversee the development of FGI’s Canadian business in all respects, with a focus on client acquisition and the exploration of untapped territories across the country. This includes originating transactions and conducting closing procedures for various financing options for companies.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity to work for such a focused, defined organization,” Bloom said. “FGI has a well-grounded existence in Canada and I’m looking forward to leveraging my experience to further expand what the team has already done here in the last 15 years. My goal is to make FGI a household name in the lending community, and have it be the first call for deals that come to market.”
Prior to joining FGI, Bloom was managing director of originations at Great Rock Capital Partners, where he was tasked with sourcing new investment opportunities and developing relationships within Canada. In his two decades of work, he has held various senior level positions at Stun Creative, Royal Bank of Canada Capital Markets and Wells Fargo Capital Finance, where he spent nearly nine years as a senior vice president.
