FSW Funding has hired Griffin Augustniak as a portfolio analyst and Cynthia Klein as a business development officer. Augustniak is based in Chicago and Klein is based in Jacksonville, FL.

“Griffin has several years of experience and is a great addition to our back office. He will help FSW service clients based in the Midwest and East where we have seen quite a bit of growth opportunity,” said Robyn Barrett, founder and managing member of FSW Funding.

Augustniak began his career in factor financing as a collateral analyst with Bibby Financial Services and later moved into an account executive position.

“We are excited to have Cynthia Klein help FSW continue to grow the portfolio in the Eastern part of the U.S. Klein’s long history as a banker and asset-based lender has helped her grow an extensive network of referral sources and prospects, which will continue our growth in the Eastern U.S.,” added Barrett.

Klein began her lending career with JP Morgan Chase in Chicago, and Portland, OR. She then worked for MB Financial, Bank of America and Citi Bank as a business banker. In 2017, Klein started as an asset-based lending business development officer for Bibby Financial Services and then Amerifactors in 2018.
