Philip Gitler has been named senior vice president, head of asset finance for WebBank, expanding its newly-formed asset finance team. The new team combines WebBank’s lender finance and partner finance businesses under a unified platform designed to deliver integrated financing solutions across the specialty finance ecosystem.
In his expanded role, Gitler will lead the strategic direction and growth of WebBank’s asset finance business, including capital markets activities. By bringing together complementary capabilities across lender finance and partner finance, the unified team will provide asset-backed warehouse facilities, back-leverage solutions and other structured credit offerings to strategic partner platforms, fintech companies, specialty finance companies and asset-backed private credit funds.
The formation of the asset finance team enhances coordination across the bank’s platform ecosystem, strengthens partner relationships and supports continued balance sheet growth. It also reinforces collaboration across internal teams to deliver scalable, long-term financing solutions aligned with partner needs.
Gitler brings more than two decades of asset finance experience, with deep expertise across asset classes and a strong track record of building and leading teams across the full asset lending and investment life cycle. Since joining WebBank, he has led the expansion of the bank’s lender finance platform and helped position the business for continued growth.
“Phil brings deep market knowledge, strong leadership and a proven ability to build and scale asset finance platforms,” Jason Lloyd, president and CEO of WebBank, said. “By uniting these capabilities under one team, we are strengthening how we serve our partners, expanding our market reach and positioning the business for long-term growth.”
