Breakout Capital has promoted McLean Wilson from chief credit officer to chief executive officer and president.

The industry veteran steps into the role with deep experience in asset-based lending, factoring, asset management, and capital raising for alternative investments.

“The announcement of McLean comes at an exciting time of growth for Breakout,” stated Steve Russell, CEO of SecurCapital, Breakout’s parent company. “With continued strong performance in our forward flow agreements and credit facilities together with new facilities and expanded strategic partners, McLean has already successfully commenced deployment of a robust strategic roadmap for Breakout that will continue to expand over the coming months and years.”

Wilson has a longstanding relationship and intimate knowledge of Breakout stemming from his asset management company’s role as the first lender to Breakout’s business in 2016.

Wilson is the co-founder of Charleston Capital Management, an alternative investment asset manager, and co-founder of inFactor, a technology-powered origination and servicing software platform for small business lenders. While serving as Breakout’s CEO and president, he will continue to oversee Breakout’s credit operations and lead product innovation efforts, including FactorAdvantage.

As part of SecurCapital, McClean, VA-based Breakout Capital has continued to provide transparent and responsible lending solutions through product innovation, small business borrowing education and advocacy against predatory lending practices.
