Gemino Healthcare Finance expanded its sales team by hiring Art Pesavento, who recently joined Gemino as a managing director based in Chicago where he will be responsible for originating, structuring and funding healthcare asset-based credit facilities in the Midwest region.

Pesavento brings to Gemino more than 20 years of asset-based lending experience in both portfolio management and marketing roles. Prior to joining Gemino, he served in senior business development roles with NewStar Business Credit, HSBC and RBS Citizens.

He is active in the Chicago Chapter of the Commercial Finance Association and attends Turnaround Management Association and Association for Corporate Growth events in the Midwest.

“We are excited to add Art, who has a strong track record in asset-based business development in the Midwest,” said Mark O’Brien, executive vice president of Business Development at Gemino. “He will strengthen our loan origination efforts in the region as we continue to grow our business.”
