Liberty Commercial Finance added to its senior management team with the hiring of Dustin Lee as Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel. Lee joins Liberty most recently from Fifth Third Bank as the Director of Commercial Business Controls and prior to that as General Counsel for Summit Funding Group where Liberty’s CEO, Eric Freeman, and Lee worked together from 2013 to 2016.  

“We couldn’t be happier about welcoming Dustin to the Liberty family. His combined experience in operations, legal, banking and private independent equipment financing is the perfect fit to help the company continue to scale its hybrid direct lending/syndication platform,” Freeman said.

Liberty Commercial Finance is a mid to large independent equipment finance company headquartered in Tustin, CA led by a seasoned team of industry veterans.
