Ingrid Chen, a 26-year factoring industry veteran, was named senior account executive for Sallyport Commercial Finance’s West Coast office.

Chen began her career with Account Funding, a small family-owned factoring company based in Encino, CA.

In 2007, Bibby Financial Services acquired Account Funding and Ingrid joined BFS along with the acquisition. She worked at BFS for 10 years as an account executive until March 2017.

“We are delighted to have convinced Ingrid to join our rapidly expanding team at Sallyport Commercial Finance. Ingrid and I have worked together for over six years previously, and she was a key member of the team then as she is now,” Sallyport COO Emma Hart said. “Ingrid’s work ethic and attention to detail are second to none. She cares about her clients and relationships whilst protecting our investment. We are very excited to have added Ingrid to our already experienced team of account executives to service our clients. Ingrid will provide operational support to our West Coast clients, and establish our operational office in California.”
