Republic Business Credit has promoted Andrea Marus to vice president of business development in its new Nashville Office.

Prior to joining Republic, she spent nearly three years at Wells Fargo Commercial Bank and completed its Financial Analyst training program.

“We have been fortunate to watch Andrea excel as an underwriter in our New Orleans office and we are thrilled she accepted the challenge to continue building our national sales platform with her promotion this summer into the rapidly growing Nashville market,” said Stewart Chesters, CEO of Republic Business Credit.

“As an underwriter, Andrea helped Republic have its two of its three best years of new business performance,” said Robert Meyers, president and founder of Republic. “I am excited for the Nashville market to get to know Andrea. She combines a great balance of enthusiasm, dedication, intelligence and persistence to support business owners.”
