Mark J. Simshauser joined Culain Capital as Northeast senior vice president responsible for building and driving business development throughout the region.

Simshauser has more than 23 years of middle-market direct lending experience, with his career beginning in 1999 at FINOVA Capital, where he developed financing opportunities across the United States for multiple financing groups of the parent company. Since then, Simshauser has built commercial loan portfolios for national and regional banks and independent finance companies.

“I have known Sims for a long time and have always been impressed with his desire to truly help his clients. We are all about finding solutions for the companies that seek our help vs. just trying to fit them into our credit box, so Mark will fit in perfectly with our team,” James Franz, president of Culain Capital, said.
