CHICAGO – 10/11/2022 – Wintrust Business Credit (WBC), the asset-based lending (ABL) unit of Wintrust Commercial Banking, today announced the hiring of Andy Hall as National Portfolio Manager as part of its nationwide expansion effort. Working alongside National Sales Manager Jason LeuVoy, Hall will be responsible for building a full-scale credit team to pre-screen, underwrite, document and monitor deals as WBC expands its asset-based lending services from a regional provider to a national platform.

"Wintrust Business Credit’s suite of services, industries served, at the regional level clearly demonstrate our ability, and potential, to make an impact on Middle Market businesses across the country,” said Wintrust Business Credit Executive Vice President Robert Shanahan. “Our clients come to us for our sophisticated, scalable solutions, but stay for the high-touch service and relationship-centric experience we consistently deliver. As we kick off expansion, Andy Hall’s addition to the team will set us up for success as we begin to grow our client base on a national scale.”

Hall brings over 30 years of asset-based lending experience to the Wintrust team, covering deal sizes ranging from $1 million to $300 million. He has demonstrated expertise supporting clients in a variety of situations including restructuring, refinancing, turnarounds, dividend recaps, acquisition, recapitalization, growth financing, and DIP financing, among others. Over the course of his career, Hall has worked with clients across a number industries from coast to coast, from financing manufacturers to distributors, companies in the service sector, and more. Prior to joining Wintrust, he served as Chief Credit Officer of ExWorks Capital, LLC.

“It’s an honor to join the Wintrust team at such a pivotal moment and to have the opportunity to support Wintrust Business Credit’s transformation into a national asset-based lending platform,” Hall said. “Wintrust’s impressive regional success opens the door to so much potential on a national scale, and I look forward to being a part of delivering creative and competitive asset-based lending solutions to the middle-market sector.”

In addition to Hall, WBC will be building out a skilled relationship team to support the anticipated growth in the portfolio.  This team will work alongside the national originations group to evaluate and onboard new client relationships.
