TAB Bank added Ryan D. Gabriel to its business development team as vice president and business development officer for the Pacific Northwest and western Canada. In this role, Gabriel will operate from Seattle and have responsibility for sourcing new business opportunities throughout the Pacific Northwest region and western portions of Canada to provide asset-based and factoring working capital resources to commercial businesses with annual revenues ranging from $2 million to $150 million.
Gabriel has more than 20 years of experience in the factoring and asset-based lending arena as well as expertise in digital marketing. Prior to joining TAB Bank, Gabriel spent time within the Riviera Finance group of companies, including time with Business Facilitators (dba Business Factors), Riviera’s digital marketing arm.

That work was instrumental in supporting Business Facilitators’ achievement of a record year for new booked accounts in 2019.
