“I believe that we can do a lot to propel this industry forward that hasn’t been done before… Imagine where we can use technology in equipment finance for our dealers, such as providing them with real-time quotes based on some basic information they give us or having them have a view into their portfolio with us so that we can help together to grow our business together in a partnership.” – Bridget Lindner
