Eric McGriff and Lou Maslowe, respected risk leaders in the equipment finance industry, will serve as hosts of Monitor’s Converge Virtual Experience: Credit & Risk, a highly interactive event taking place on March 26, 2026. The experience will bring together credit, risk and portfolio professionals from across the industry to address the evolving challenges shaping equipment finance today.
McGriff, chief risk officer at 36th Street Capital, has spent 40 years in the equipment finance industry and has been deeply involved across asset-based lending, specialty finance, distribution finance and inventory finance. Throughout his career, he has served as a senior leader with responsibility spanning credit, portfolio management, collections, asset management, operations, customer service, legal operations and statistical modeling. His breadth of experience offers a rare, end-to-end perspective on risk management across multiple market cycles.
Joining him is Maslowe, a seasoned risk management executive with more than 40 years of leadership experience across equipment finance, inventory finance and asset-based lending. He has overseen critical functions spanning credit, data science, business intelligence and enterprise-wide risk management. Since July 2022, Maslowe has served as chief risk officer for the commercial domain at DLL, following prior CRO roles at Marlin Capital Solutions and DLL’s Americas Region. Earlier in his career, he held senior risk and credit leadership positions at Hewlett-Packard Financial Services and ORIX Financial Services.
“Converge has always been about substance over noise,” Lisa Rafter, publisher of Monitor, said. “Eric and Lou bring decades of experience and perspective that this industry trusts. They understand how credit and risk decisions play out in real organizations, and their leadership will help ensure the conversations at Converge are practical, candid and grounded in the realities our industry is facing right now.”
Unlike traditional virtual conferences, Converge Virtual Experience: Credit & Risk emphasizes structured collaboration rather than panel discussions or presentations. Participants will work through shared case studies addressing portfolio concentration, fraud evolution, talent gaps, governance challenges and the responsible use of AI in credit decisioning.
Attendees will leave with actionable insights and implementation frameworks compiled into the Converge Credit & Risk Playbook, built from the collective expertise of the participants.
