Republic Business Credit (RBC) hired Brian Resutek as senior vice president and Southeast regional manager. Resutek has nearly two decades of experience in factoring, commercial finance, banking and business development, particularly supporting growing businesses across the apparel, textile, furniture, accessory, flooring and food and beverage industries. He will join a team at RBC that has grown by more than 20% in the first half of 2024 alone, adding seven new hires in the past 90 days.
“When we identify a candidate with the talent and experience of someone like Brian, we work hard to recruit them to our growing team,” Stewart Chesters, CEO of RBC, said. “Brian not only expands our Southeast partnership with Renasant Bank, but he also enables us to support more manufacturers and distributors across one of the fastest growing economic regions.”
Resutek most recently worked both as an account executive and business development officer for a privately-held factor and finance company in the U.S. He oversaw client and account management, new business development and both factoring and asset-based loan opportunities. He also spent nearly a decade at Branch Banking & Trust in the bank’s commercial finance sector.
“I truly enjoy the challenge of growing, partnering and collaborating across the Southeast for Republic and Renasant Bank,” Resutek said. “I have been following Republic Business Credit’s growth and success for some time, and the opportunity to help build their Southeast presence was something I couldn’t pass up.”
In his new role, Resutek will assess and build new client relationships, working closely with Robert Meyers, RBC’s president.
“Republic is fortunate to have Brian joining with his level of experience, and our team will be better as a result,” Meyers said. “Brian is a known and well-respected professional in the Southeast region, and he is another reflection of our strategy to build a business that includes the best and brightest people throughout our key markets.”
