“What drew me to EverBank is the unique combination of being a nimble, entrepreneurial institution with a strong commitment to building out this business,” Carr said. “EverBank understands the complexities and needs of the companies we are targeting — whether in manufacturing, marine or transportation. As a bank deeply familiar with this space, we’re able to offer tailored and innovative financing solutions that truly align with our clients’ goals. The bank’s size allows us to move quickly, and the synergy with EverBank’s established vendor equipment finance business has allowed us to hit the ground running, closing deals quickly and building significant momentum.”_x000D_

With nearly 30 years of experience, Carr brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise. Prior to joining EverBank, Carr served as managing director of corporate asset finance at Pacific Western Bank (formerly CapitalSource), where she spent 14 successful years. She also previously led capital markets at Tygris Financial and Royal Bank of Scotland. Carr also served on the Equipment Leasing and Finance Association’s board from 2020 through 2022._x000D_

In addition to Carr, EverBank’s corporate asset finance division includes 11 experienced industry professionals with an average of 25+ years in the equipment finance industry. The team has already closed several transactions since the division began operations in June 2024, and expects to carry that momentum through the end of the year and into 2025.
