HORSHAM, Pa., September 24, 2024 – Apex Commercial Capital is pleased to announce the hiring of Stephanie Hall, CLFP (Certified Lease & Finance Professional) as Senior Vice President of Indirect Lending for its equipment finance business line. Hall joins Apex with over 18 years of extensive experience in equipment finance, bringing an exceptional track record in developing long-term relationships with brokers throughout her career.

“We are thrilled to have Stephanie join our team and be the face of our broker channel,” said Donald Wampler, Managing Director of Equipment Finance. “Stephanie and I both grew up in this industry, competing against each other for the past 18 years. I am excited we are now on the same team and know that our combined backgrounds and relationships within the broker community will help Apex become an industry leader for small ticket transactions.”

In her new role, Hall will be a dedicated advocate for Apex’s broker partners, ensuring they receive the highest level of service as Apex pursues its goal of becoming the premier lending choice for small-ticket transactions. Hall is also responsible for expanding the indirect lending portion of the equipment finance group, while leveraging her expertise to enhance processes and improve the experience for third-party originators.

"I’m excited to join such a tenured team, many of whom I’ve known for several years, and to return to my roots at a bank subsidiary in my local area,” said Hall. “Although I’m new, it feels a lot like coming home. I’m looking forward to seeing what we can accomplish here at Apex."

Prior to joining Apex, Hall served as Vice President of Sales for an independent finance company, where she was part of the executive team and led a sales group responsible for $120MM in originations. Previously, she held leadership roles at a publicly traded bank in the Chicagoland area, where she built the Small-Ticket Equipment Finance segment as Executive Vice President, as well as at an Austin-based independent finance company where she oversaw syndication, credit, compliance, and funding operations. Additionally, she spent over a decade as Vice President of Third-Party Originations for a bank-owned equipment finance company.

She previously served on the board of directors of the National Equipment Finance Association (NEFA), culminating in her role as President/Chairman in 2016-2017.
