The Certified Lease & Finance Professional (CLFP) Foundation announced that four individuals who sat through the eight-hour online CLFP exam have passed:

• Don Cosenza, CLFP – North Mill Equipment Finance, chief marketing officer
• Randy Hollowell, CLFP – Celtic Commercial Finance, national accounts representative
• Claudine Matian, CLFP – Celtic Commercial Finance, VP of National Accounts
• Christine Underwood, CLFP Associate – Allegiant Partners, Inc., marketing associate

Cosenza, CMO at North Mill Equipment Finance stated, “As a marketing professional, it’s imperative to have an understanding of the fundamentals that drive the industry in which you operate. Given that I spent a large percentage of my career in health care, leasing was uncharted territory for me. But I was confident that the CLFP designation would provide me with the background necessary to transition and, as such, market more effectively for North Mill. I couldn’t be happier with my decision.”

The CLFP designation identifies an individual as a knowledgeable professional to employers, clients, customers and peers in the equipment finance industry.
