BOK Financial named Kaushik Ponnusamy managing director of loan syndications, succeeding Evans Swann, who is soon retiring.
Ponnusamy will lead the firm’s existing team of syndicators and oversee multi-bank marketing efforts across the company from the organization’s office in Dallas.
“Kaushik is acutely aligned with the BOK Financial vision of syndications,” Scott Andrews, senior vice president and COO of the commercial division at BOK, said. “Since joining BOK Financial, Kaushik’s contributions to our syndication effort have been remarkable. I have full confidence in his ability to further our relationship-driven approach, reinforcing the team’s role as a value-added partner in the strategy and execution of multi-bank credit facilities.”
Ponnusamy has experience in syndicating loans across all disciplines of commercial lending and has arranged billions of dollars in bank loan financings. He joined BOK Financial in 2017, helping to grow the firm’s syndications efforts within the commercial real estate line of business. Ponnusamy will continue to structure, originate and distribute multi-bank transactions across all industries and further develop BOK Financial’s capital markets capabilities.
Prior to joining BOK Financial, Ponnusamy spent almost 10 years with regional bank syndications desks.
