In response to continued growth throughout the industry and to support fuel retailers and C-stores in achieving the EMV shift before the October 2017 deadline, Patriot Capital added three experienced equipment financing experts to its national sales team.

Bringing nearly 30 years of commercial sales and management experience to the Patriot Capital team, Joseph C. Moceri has been named business development manager. Moceri spent more than two decades in the enterprise environment at ExxonMobil, ending his tenure there as sales manager. Most recently he served as president at Commercial Lubricants, a multi-million-dollar lubricant distributor.

Overseeing Patriot Capital’s equipment financing operations in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee is Jonathan Carrizzo, a corporate finance professional with more than 15 years’ experience in financial analysis, sales, equipment leasing and high-level business operations. Carrizzo comes to Patriot Capital from the American Safety Council. He previously held executive positions at Canon Financial Services, GE Capital and Ever Bank, and has extensive experience in real estate and equipment financing.

Brian Wolfgang brings more than 16 years’ equipment financing experience to the Patriot Capital team, including executive positions at TCF Equipment Finance, Key Equipment Finance and SMT Leasing Company. Wolfgang has extensive experience in tailoring financial solutions to customers in a variety of industries. Brian will provide additional Patriot coverage to the Midwest U.S. retail and commercial fueling markets.

“We’re excited to welcome these three finance-industry veterans to Patriot Capital’s equipment financing team,” said national sales manager Mike Borelli. “Their experience enables them to partner with our customers to provide the most efficient solutions for financing EMV upgrades, C-store reimaging and equipment upgrades, energy-saving LED lighting and underground storage tanks (USTs). Expanding our advisory team will allow Patriot Capital to continue to meet the needs of fuel distributors, retailers and convenience store owners.”

Patriot Capital, a division of State Bank and Trust Company, specializes in enabling entrepreneurs to succeed by providing access to hassle-free equipment financing and SBA loans in the retail and commercial fueling verticals and other manufacturing industries.
