Prior to joining UpField, Mr. Rush served as a senior executive in the lending industry; most recently as President of World Trade Finance, originating over $100MM SBA loans and leading its portfolio expansion and operations since 2015.
Chad Ward, Managing Partner at UpField, said, "We are excited to welcome Brian to the team.
