Adding Hitachi’s scale, industry expertise, and deep resources to our unique financing platform will allow us to broaden our supply chain financing solutions to include term loans, SaaS contract financing and end-user financing.”

He will report to Chris Pagano, general manager of Hitachi Capital America’s Structured Finance business. Stemler will continue to be supported by COO/CFO Steve Weislogel, who oversees business operations in Ohio.
