STACY GAYLORD - MARKETING COORDINATOR
I joined the Bibby Financial Services Graduate Careers Program at Bibby in Chicago in June 2006, after graduating from the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana. The program offered the chance to work in each department in Bibby Midwest and explore all parts of the business. After several months, I was given the opportunity to work for the Bibby Transportation Finance in Nashville, which specializes in cash flow solutions for trucking companies. After a time at BTF, Bibby sent me to the UK for a few months to learn about their special products and see some of their many offices.
During the program, management monitored each graduate and assigned us projects based on our likes, dislikes, and background. This special attention makes the workday more fulfilling and droves our experiences in the directions each individual wanted to pursue. Having completed the Graduate Careers Program, I now work am Marketing Coordinator for Bibby Financial Services (Holdings), Inc.
LAURA LEIBOWITZ - CONTROLLER
I joined Bibby Financial Services in October of 2003. I have been part of the team since day one of operation as I was working for the company that Bibby acquired.
I started my career with Bibby as the Office Manager/Bookkeeper. My job has evolved and expanded and I now hold the position of Controller. I love the challenges and excitement that each day brings.
Bibby is a wonderful company to work for. We have a great staff here and the management team is the best. They give us the freedom to do our jobs well but are always there to lend a hand and support us when needed.
KRISTINA MADSEN - CLIENT MANAGER
Prior to joining Bibby Financial Services I worked as a sales manager for a local sporting goods retailer and waited tables on the side. I started as a credit controller for the first few months, and my abilities and skills were noticed instantly and acknowledged with a promotion to client manager. I've always enjoyed providing great customer service for whomever I work for; however, Bibby has by far made me feel the most valuable.
I love the team I work with and enjoy the responsibilities and tasks that come to us each day. I like the feeling of empowerment my position gives me as well as the freedom that I am given to make the decisions that I think are best for my clients.
I look forward to many more years of providing the best service I can for the company and our clients, and watching my own office in California continue to grow.
AMY WARD - UNDERWRITING COORDINATOR
After graduating from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, I began working in the receivables funding industry managing clients, verifying the collateral and processing our client's funding for them to grow their business. A year into the position, Bibby Financial Services came into the picture as they acquired the portfolio and company that I had been working for. I worked closely with our clients and their customers and was given the chance to understand many different industries of business. I became a Senior Account Executive, then after some time and move to a larger Bibby office I found myself working with credit and the underwriting of new business as Underwriting Coordinator. I now coordinate with our business development team and analyze results of due diligence in order to continue servicing new companies and increasing our portfolio. Also, as new offices across the United States have opened I have visited them to assist in training. Each role that I have assumed within Bibby has provided me a stepping stone with valuable knowledge that I am ready to use when I approach that next "Bibby step".
As a Bibby employee, I can vouch that we "Work Hard" but also "Play Hard" - there are always company sponsored social events and chances to bond with our colleagues outside of the workplace. It is really a team atmosphere. Not many people in the workforce can say they are consistently challenged or enjoy their job, but I can. I have been personally motivated to learn and move through the different positions of Bibby, but I would not have been able to do so if the management team had not recognized my strengths and utilized them to benefit the company in the best way. Bibby not only represents opportunity for our clients as they grow their companies, but also opportunity for their employees to grow professionally.
MARCUS FERRARI - EVP, BFS DIRECT
My commercial finance career began in the summer of 2001 with the well know accounts receivable insurance provider, Coface North America. At Coface I learned the basics of commercial credit and related financing vehicles. The banking and commercial finance contacts I made during this time were the basis for my engagement with Bibby Financial Services. At Bibby I have had the pleasure of working with executive directors and management that have shared their knowledge and experience which has allowed me to grow quickly within the organization and in my position.
Working for Bibby Financial Services offers a unique opportunity as I am able to offer a variety of solutions to a wide range of businesses that have working capital needs. Our niche product offerings such as transportation and staffing finance allow me to address very specific needs for prospective clients. The availability of purchase order finance allows me to help small to middle market companies grow their businesses beyond their current collateral base and reach their long term goals. Working for a company with a 200 year history and a strong balance sheet are also definite advantages when negotiating with vendors and participating lenders. In addition to the aforementioned, the ability to do deals quickly with local decisions makers at rates that are competitive make Bibby Financial Services a great place to work.
