North Mill Equipment Finance (NMEF), an independent commercial equipment lender and lessor headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut, appointed Nicole DuPont as manager, strategic partnerships.
Most recently, DuPont served as syndication relationship manager at Amur Equipment Finance, where she managed partner relationships, oversaw white-label syndication transactions and worked closely with referral partners to identify growth opportunities and enhance the partner experience. She previously held roles at Everlasting Capital and began her equipment finance career at Direct Capital, a division of CIT Bank, now First Citizens Bank.
A graduate of Plymouth State University, DuPont earned a bachelor of arts in communication studies and has built a reputation for developing trusted partnerships, improving operational processes and delivering exceptional service throughout the equipment finance lifecycle.
“Nicole brings a tremendous combination of industry knowledge, relationship-building skills, and operational expertise,” Mike Morris, senior vice president of strategic partnerships at NMEF, said. “Her experience across syndication, credit and strategic partnerships gives her a unique perspective that will immediately benefit our partners. We’re excited to welcome Nicole to NMEF and have no doubt she’ll hit the ground running as we continue expanding our partnership network and delivering best-in-class service.”
DoPont said, “I’ve always believed this industry is built on relationships, and that’s what attracted me to NMEF. NMEF has an outstanding reputation, an incredibly talented team, and a clear vision for continued growth. I’m excited to join an organization that values collaboration and innovation, and I look forward to building meaningful partnerships that create value for our customers and referral partners.”
As manager, strategic partnerships, DuPont will focus on strengthening existing parter relationships while identifying new opportunities to support NMEF’s continued growth across its nationwide referral network.
