Bennington Financial, an organization in the brokered commercial vehicle and equipment leasing market in Canada and wholly owned subsidiary of Equitable Bank, appointed Ashley Yantzi president and CEO following the earlier retirement of Bennington’s former president and CEO, Troy Campbell.
“We are thrilled to welcome Ashley to his new position as president and CEO of Bennington. He is a uniquely talented leader who has repeatedly demonstrated success in helping organizations reach their full potential while thoughtfully guiding them through dynamic risk environments to long-term, sustainable growth,” Darren Lorimer, senior vice president and group head, commercial banking at Equitable Bank, said. “His business acumen combined with his natural people-focused approach will continue to foster Bennington’s culture as they embark on their next chapter.”
Yantzi is a seasoned financial services executive with over 20 years of leadership in equipment financing, credit and commercial and residential lending. He joins Bennington after seven years with Equitable Bank where he served as vice president, credit risk and vice president and head of residential lending and established a track record of customer-centric organizational growth. Prior to this, he held progressively senior roles with TD Bank and GE Capital.
“It’s an honor to join the remarkable Bennington team, and I look forward to applying our shared challenger mindset to harness our full potential alongside our broker partners,” Yantzi said. “Bennington has made a name for itself in providing competitive, unique and innovative equipment financing products and services, and I am confident that our next phase of growth will yield even deeper relationships with our customers.”
“I would like to thank the entire Bennington team for their hard work and unwavering commitment to our customers,” Campbell said. “Concluding my career among this passionate group of people is an immense privilege, and I leave confident knowing that their next chapter will be guided by a leader who shares their values.”
“On behalf of Equitable, I want to thank Troy for his years of service and dedication to Bennington,” Lorimer said. “His passion resulted in a strong workplace culture that will endure and serve Bennington well in the years ahead under Ashley’s new leadership.”
