National Bank Holdings Corporation has formed a new specialty finance division, NBH Capital Finance, to provide structured and asset based loans to middle market companies.
The new lender will be led by Chris Randall, the founder and head of CoBiz Structured Finance, a specialty lending firm. Joining Mr. Randall will be his team from CoBiz Structured Finance including Josh Peters, Lisa Brown and Jenna Schlageter.
Before founding CoBiz Structured Finance in January 2012, Mr. Randall was a co-founder, board member and chief operating officer of MFC Capital Funding in Chicago. Prior to MFC, he was a vice president and division manager for the Structured Finance Group at Fifth Third Bank. He received his bachelor’s degree in Economics from the University of Colorado.
“We believe the creation of NBH Capital Finance emphasizes our focus on building value-added relationships with business clients,” said Tim Laney, President and CEO of National Bank Holdings Corporation. “Chris and his team will have an immediate impact on accelerating our disciplined loan growth, while cross selling other business banking services. The middle market remains underserved, and we are excited to add such an experienced team to our organization to fill this gap.”
