Liberty Commercial Finance added two key members to its senior management team bringing on Kirk Nelson as Senior Vice President of Risk Management and Jennifer Bradford as Vice President of Documentation and Funding. 

Nelson joins Liberty most recently from California First National Bank (CalFirst) where he was a key member of their credit team for the last 4 years. Prior to CalFirst, Nelson spent close to 30 years with GE Capital Corporation in senior credit, operation and portfolio management roles. In his new position with Liberty, Nelson will play significant roles on both the credit and operations side of the business as Liberty looks to continue their rapid growth since inception. 

Nelson joins Liberty most recently from GE Capital Corporation as well where she spent five years in Operations documenting and funding everything from titled vehicles, aircraft and marine assets to food processing and production lines.  Prior to GE, she spent more than seven years at Wells Fargo Equipment Finance in a similar capacity.  In her new role with Liberty, Jen heads up the documentation and funding department for all equipment lease and finance transactions originated by Liberty. 

“We couldn’t be more excited about adding Kirk and Jen to the Liberty family,” said Eric Freeman, President of Liberty. “Their vast experience in credit, operations and documentation combined with our dynamic, best in class originations team are really going to help pave the way for Liberty’s continued growth.”
