CIT Commercial Services, a subsidiary of First Citizens Bank, appointed Tom Fingleton chief strategy officer. Fingleton was previously Northeast regional manager, a role that will now be filled by Amna Mahmood, who was formerly a managing director and national underwriting manager. Daniel Goll will replace Mahmood as national underwriting manager.

In their new roles, all three of these leaders will report directly to Michael Hudgens, managing director and group head of CIT Commercial Services, who leads the division with the guidance and support of Marc Heller, president of CIT Commercial Services.

Fingleton, who served as Northeast regional manager since March 2019, will oversee strategy, business development and project management for all of CIT Commercial Services. Fingleton first joined the group in 2012 and has served in positions of increasing responsibility since. Prior to becoming Northeast regional manager, he spent seven years as chief operating officer and senior vice president of strategy.

“Tom is a proven leader and a valued member of our leadership team,” Hudgens said. “We are pleased to leverage his strategic insights and look forward to his ongoing contributions to the growth of Commercial Services.”

Mahmood has served as CIT Commercial Services’ national underwriting manager since 2019. She has been a member of the team since 2007 and has advanced steadily throughout her career. In her new position, Mahmood will be responsible for new business development and client portfolio management in the Northeast.

“Amna has long demonstrated outstanding customer focus and a deep understanding of how our services can best support our clients,” Hudgens said. “We are confident she will build on that expertise to help drive the continued growth of our business in the critical Northeast region.”

In succeeding Mahmood in the role of national underwriting manager, Goll will be responsible for overseeing underwriting for the business’ factoring contracts and asset-based lending. Goll joined CIT Commercial Services in 2012 and has served in several positions since, including working in credit risk and underwriting.

“Dan is a skilled financial professional and we have long appreciated his expertise and agility in supporting our clients in the pursuit of their business goals,” Hudgens said. “We are pleased to welcome him to this important position and look forward to his continued accomplishments on behalf of our clients.”
