John Gougeon joined UniFi Equipment Finance, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of Ann Arbor offering equipment finance solutions in the small to medium ticket space, as president.
“John has experience in nearly every aspect of equipment leasing ranging from asset management and sales to operations and even launching an independent small ticket leasing company,” Tim Marshall, president and CEO of Bank of Ann Arbor, said. “He is the consummate team builder, has a long history of collaborating extremely well with colleagues and clients, and his career has been very successful. We are excited and fortunate to bring John to the UniFi team to continue to grow and develop the equipment finance business for the bank.”
Gougeon is joining the UniFi team with more than 35 years of experience in the equipment finance industry. Throughout the process of launching an independent small ticket leasing company, he was instrumental to the design, implementation and execution of the business plan. His strengths were able to shine when developing systems, policies and procedures that would align favorably with goals of the organization and the needs of his clients.
“I am thrilled to be joining UniFi Equipment Finance, especially with the support of Bank of Ann Arbor,” Gougeon said. “Having a national reach with a community culture is something that is incredibly unique. I’m looking forward to working with my new team and our client base.”
Additionally, Gougeon has lent his expertise to the Equipment Leasing and Finance Association, serving 15 years on the association’s Equipment Management Committee.
