Mitsubishi HC Capital America has hired Ricardo Nunes to support the company’s growth in private credit, a move aimed at expanding its direct lending capabilities for middle-market businesses.
Nunes, who most recently worked at Bank of Ireland’s Leveraged Finance Group, joins the structured finance and leasing team. He brings experience in underwriting and originating credit for private equity-backed companies, as well as previous roles at Fortress Credit Corporation and GE Commercial Financial Services.
His appointment aligns with Mitsubishi HC Capital America’s strategy to increase its role in the private credit space, where demand for flexible capital solutions continues to rise. The company’s direct lending platform targets sectors including manufacturing, business services, distribution, communications, energy transition and healthcare.
“Building a team of experienced professionals like Ricardo reinforces our ability to structure and execute complex credit solutions,” said Chris Pagano, senior vice president of structured finance and leasing.
Nunes holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Western Connecticut State University and is a member of the Association for Corporate Growth’s New York chapter.
Mitsubishi HC Capital America is a commercial finance company with $7.5 billion in owned and managed assets and more than 800 employees across North America.
