TAB Bank is opening a Los Angeles Loan Production Office to better serve its new and existing clients in the Western Region.

TAB Bank has promoted Brett Horwitz to managing director and head of Originations-Western Region and promoted Traci Crabtree to serve as Western Regional underwriting manager.

Horwitz has been with TAB Bank since 2011 based in Los Angeles and has a successful track record of sourcing, structuring, and executing ABL and Factoring transactions. As a result of his efforts, and TAB Bank’s commitment to the market, the Western Region now represents the largest concentration of clients within the TAB Bank ABL and Factoring portfolio.

Horwitz will continue to focus on originating new business and supporting the existing customer base with the help of Crabtree. Together they will continue to build out the loan production office with additional resources.

Crabtree brings a wealth of experience from her 20-year career in corporate finance. She has developed extensive experience in middle market direct lending including the underwriting of asset-based, cash flow, and real estate products. Throughout her career, she has worked for notable lenders such as CIT, Siemens, PNC Bank and FINOVA. The variation in lending approaches across these institutions has given Ms. Crabtree a unique perspective that facilitates creative lending solutions.
