Gibraltar Business Capital welcomed Joe Messineo to its expert business development team as senior vice president, Northeast region. Messineo will play a critical role in leading originations across the Northeast as the company continues to capitalize on demand for non-bank financing solutions.
Messineo will strengthen Gibraltar’s dynamic team with his 25 years of lending experience and a proven track record of success creating customized capital solutions for lower middle-market businesses. Before joining Gibraltar, Messineo was director of business development at Edge Capital, where he sourced and structured $5 million to $25 million asset-based loans. Earlier in his career, Messineo held various investment banking roles in structured credit and was also an entrepreneur, having founded three businesses and leading one to a successful exit. He has degrees in finance and marketing from Drexel University and is a member of the Association for Corporate Growth, the Secured Finance Network and the Turnaround Management Association.
In his new role, Messineo will nurture relationships with potential clients, financial advisors and sponsors, identify new business opportunities and strategize innovative approaches to expand Gibraltar’s growing ABL portfolio.
“Joe embodies our company’s commitment to excellence and client satisfaction,” Jim Marasco, head of originations at Gibraltar, said. “Joe’s passion for fostering long-term partnerships and delivering value-added solutions will contribute to our continued success serving borrowers and their advisors in the ABL market.”
