BankFinancial promoted Kimberly King, CLFP, to vice president of sales for its equipment finance small-ticket division.
King has more than 15 years of experience in the equipment finance industry. Before being promoted to vice president, she served as the small-ticket sales manager at BankFinancial. In this role, she was responsible for BankFinancial’s small-ticket leasing sales operation, including developing and executing division initiatives in sales, marketing, product and operations.
King previously worked at Navitas Credit in sales and marketing and received the President’s Club Award in 2020. Prior to that, she was the senior association coordinator at the National Equipment Finance Association, where she focused on business growth and development, education, and ethic advocacy for small to mid-size independent equipment finance companies.
In 2021, King achieved her Certified Lease & Finance Professional certification and was recognized as a NextGen Leader and Top Women in Leasing by Monitor. Today, she remains actively involved in the equipment finance industry by serving as secretary on the NEFA’s board of directors, and a member of the association’s Chris Walker Education committee, membership committee and, most recently, its nominating committee.
“We have all been impressed by [Kim’s] strong record in sales execution, operational excellence and driving results,” Marci L. Slagle, CLFP, president of BankFinancial Equipment Finance, said. “She is a natural sales leader, and we are very excited to see her in this role.”
