Industry veteran, Matt Hamilton, has joined CSI Leasing as vice president. He will be responsible for lease origination throughout the U.S., with an emphasis on global opportunities.

Hamilton brings 30 years of equipment finance and banking experience to CSI. During his career, he has closed more than $18 billion in equipment cost on a global basis, specifically throughout the U.S., EU and Asia Pacific. Most recently, he was a senior vice president at Wells Fargo Equipment Finance, managing a team responsible for covering the bank’s corporate clients.

“Matt’s experience in the equipment finance and banking industry is remarkable and his track record of closing business is even more impressive,” said Patrick Gloriod, executive vice president and national sales manager. “His industry knowledge and global expertise will be a tremendously valuable asset to CSI and our entire portfolio of current and future customers.”
