Mark Tomaselli, former First American chief information officer, joined Innovation Finance as its president.
“Mark Tomaselli is a long-time friend and former business colleague. I’m delighted to have the opportunity to work with Mark again,” said Bill Verhelle, CEO of Innovation Finance.
“Joining Innovation Finance is an exciting opportunity to apply the same principles employed by companies like Amazon, Salesforce and Tesla to redefine what’s possible regarding a better client experience,” Tomaselli said. “I’ve had the privilege to work closely with a few dynamic companies in Silicon Valley, and I believe this is an excellent time to consider the application of new technology and business strategy to commercial equipment finance.”
Before serving as First American CIO, Mark held senior management positions at Sun Microsystems and Frontier Communications.
Innovation Finance is a newly launched commercial equipment finance company founded by Verhelle, who previously founded Harvard Partners and First American Equipment Finance.

Congrats Mark. Quick question: Is this new program you are joining the same Innovative Finance that Barclay’s has offered to their customers for quite some time.. which provides customers with a flexible financing program that has been streamlined for simplicity and every step of the process is completely different than traditional lending programs. Sounded very similar, was curious if this is a joint venture with Barclays.
