United Leasing & Finance has appointed John Greaney as Chief Operating Officer and Jon Kicklighter as Chief Credit Officer. Both leaders bring extensive experience in their respective fields and will play key roles in driving the company’s continued growth and operational excellence.

Greaney brings a wealth of experience in operational management and organizational leadership. In his new role, Greaney will oversee the company’s day-to-day operations and lead initiatives designed to enhance efficiency and improve customer experiences across the organization.

Greaney previously served as Vice President of Operations at Ascension St. Vincent Evansville, where he spearheaded initiatives to streamline performance and support long-term growth.

"It's an honor to join a company with a 60-year track record of partnering with its customers to accelerate and expand their capacity for success,” said Greaney.

Kicklighter brings more than 15 years of expertise in banking and finance with a specialization in credit risk management, underwriting and portfolio strategy. Kicklighter’s energy, experience in underwriting and strong analytical aptitude will be instrumental in strengthening United Leasing & Finance’s credit risk function, enabling more agile decision-making and supporting the company's growth.

Kicklighter was most recently Senior Vice President of Risk at SLR Equipment Finance, where he contributed significantly to the growth of vendor-focused financial solutions.

“It is a privilege to join a company with a distinguished legacy of delivering high-quality service and consistently exceeding customer expectations. I am committed to fostering meaningful partnerships and driving durable, long-term growth,” Kicklighter said.

“I am thrilled to announce the addition of these two individuals into key roles within the organization,” Amy Romain Barron, CEO of United Leasing & Finance, said. “Both are newly created positions which we believe are crucial for the continued growth of our company. John Greaney’s operational expertise and Jon Kicklighter’s deep credit and risk management knowledge will add tremendous bench strength to our leadership structure, allowing us to better support our customers, vendors and business partners.”
