Anthony Vassallo joined Rosenthal & Rosenthal as a senior business development officer in the firm’s New York office.

With more than 25 years of experience in nearly every aspect of secured lending, including new business development, underwriting, portfolio management and loan workouts, Vassallo will focus on growing Rosenthal’s asset-based lending division in the Northeast. Before joining Rosenthal, he was senior vice president for Northeast business development at Gibraltar Business Capital, where he covered restructuring professionals, private equity groups, debt advisors and bank special asset groups. Before that, he served in a variety of roles spanning business development, underwriting and portfolio management at Santander Bank, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, GMAC Commercial Credit, CIT Group/Business Credit and the Bank of New York.

“Anthony brings a wealth of experience in successfully executing complex ABL deals with ease,” Robert Miller, executive vice president and head of asset-based lending at Rosenthal & Rosenthal, said. “His expertise will enable us to further penetrate new referral sources, particularly within the private equity and investment banking communities.”

“I couldn’t be more thrilled to join Rosenthal and am always up for taking on new challenges,” Vassallo said. “I look forward to helping Rosenthal forge new connections and partnerships that will help broaden the firm’s network and expand its reach.”
