Bridge Bank hired Nick Nardulli as assistant vice president of portfolio management, Richard Biers as vice president of portfolio management and Steven Ogus as senior vice president of asset-based lending, all in the company’s capital finance group. The company also hired Timothy Carstens as a managing director in April 2020.
