“Chris has spent nearly two decades underwriting and managing a broad range of middle-market and corporate credit facilities,” Jennifer Palmer, founder and CEO of JPC, said. “His depth of credit expertise, combined with a thoughtful, relationship-driven approach, makes him the ideal leader to oversee our growing portfolio. We’re excited to welcome him to the team.”
In his role as SVP, portfolio management, Mayo will oversee credit risk, portfolio performance and collateral monitoring across JPC’s lending book.
Prior to joining JPalmer Collective, Mayo managed a portfolio of middle-market and large corporate asset-based lending relationships at Citibank.

Earlier, as vice president, middle market commercial portfolio manager at TD Bank, he managed an $800 million portfolio.
Mayo began his career in asset-based lending at Wells Fargo Capital Finance, progressing from collateral analyst to account executive and ultimately underwriter over the course of nine years.
“I’ve spent my career on the underwriting and credit side of asset-based lending, helping clients navigate growth, acquisitions and turnarounds while keeping risk management front and center,” Mayo said. “I’m impressed with JPalmer Collective’s client-first approach to ABL, and I’m looking forward to bringing my skills to the firm’s portfolio.”
