In his new role, Hinders will focus on originating new business and developing strategic relationships to support FGI Finance’s continued growth. His background across multiple areas of commercial finance positions him to help middle-market businesses access flexible, customized asset-based lending solutions to meet their financing needs.
“I’m pleased to join FGI at an exciting time for the business,” Hinders said. “I look forward to drawing on my experience in asset-based lending to establish FGI’s presence in Texas and across the country to develop relationships with businesses seeking financing solutions to support their growth.”
