The equipment finance industry has always rewarded experience. But this issue of Monitor makes a compelling case that it is the next generation — those 40 and under in careers that are already distinguished —  are quietly reshaping what leadership looks like, what technology should do and what this industry owes the people coming up behind them. From our annual NextGen profiles to our Vendor Top 40 rankings, a leader profile, and a story about three young professionals who turned a capstone project into a wholesale redesign of their company’s internship talent pipeline, the May/June issue is a reminder that the future of equipment finance is already here.
