Laurie Funston and Christina Manall joined CG Commercial Finance’s Affiliate originations team.

Funston will be developing broker/lessor relationships in the western U.S. She was most recently with Pacific Western Equipment Finance.

Manall is responsible for developing new vendor relationships. She was most recently with Lease Corporation of America and Navitas.

CG Commercial also added Celenia Kurtz as funding coordinator in its Irvine, CA corporate headquarters. She held similar positions at Select Funding and Jules & Associates.

Funston, Manall and Kurtz join a growing team, which includes the addition earlier in the year of Jordan Stowe, who is focused on the brokers/lessors in the eastern region.

“We are excited to have our newest team members join the company as we continue expanding our market reach within our broker services and targeted vendor program channels,” said W. Scott McCullum, CGCF president. “Think vendors that specialize in large ticket, complex implementations associated with projects such as distribution centers, energy retrofits, software and the like. In the brokers’ services space we provide access to competitive funding for their larger relationships and more complex account situations. These two critical areas are vastly underserved in the marketplace and represent an immense opportunity to add immediate value.”
