Norwalk, CT, October 18, 2023 – Mitsubishi HC Capital America, the largest non-bank, non-captive finance provider in North America with $7.5 billion in owned and managed assets, announces that Sarah Henry, Assistant Vice President, Senior Underwriter and Kevin Hall, Vice President, Capital Markets at subsidiary Mitsubishi HC Capital Canada, are the recipients of the NextGen Icon Awards by the ABF Journal and Monitor, respectively.
“We are incredibly proud and share in celebrating this prestigious industry recognition of Sarah and Kevin,” said Craig Weinewuth, President and CEO of Mitsubishi HC Capital America. “Their commitment and drive, and the impact they have had on the success of our business, exemplifies the best of our organization. Being under the age of 40, their accomplishments are all the more remarkable and we look forward to their future professional and personal achievements.”
Henry has been a force for positive change within Mitsubishi HC Capital America through her work to create a more efficient and effective workplace and her active mentorship to junior staff. Among her many accomplishments are updating the Business Finance division’s credit policy to provide further details on lending parameters and working closely with senior management to update and improve internal process and procedures. She also created the SSL/co-lending underwriting roadmap, which defines the activities of all stakeholders within the company’s syndication portfolio. Her work on this project provided clarity and efficiency, thereby eliminating duplicative efforts while reducing audit exceptions. Her contributions were also recognized this year when she was named as an Exceptional Woman in Secured Finance by the Secured Finance Network.
“Sarah displays a maturity and business acumen beyond her years,” said James Giaimo, Chief Credit Officer, Commercial Finance at Mitsubishi HC Capital America. “Her work is incredibly impactful and makes a significant difference in the success of our business.”
Hall, age 31, is a respected and well-known partner and trusted colleague in and around the North American equipment finance industry. Over the past seven years, his contributions have helped to build Mitsubishi HC Capital Canada into one of the country’s largest equipment finance companies. In just the last two years, he has built a $500 million capital markets platform, including a buy & sell syndication desk, as well as an innovative private securitization product and warehouse facility. Notably, his team originated more than $400 million in new business volume in the company’s most recent fiscal year, nearly twice the volume from FY 2021.
“Status quo is not an option for Kevin,” says Simon Jean, Senior Vice President of Equipment Finance at Mitsubishi HC Capital Canada. “He always performs in everything he does and inspires his colleagues to go above and beyond, every day. The team he manages is young, dynamic, very hard working and dedicated to their partners, which is aligned perfectly with Kevin’s own values and objectives to keep improving.”
The Monitor and ABF Journal NextGen Industry Icon Awards are among five award categories for professional recognition.
