First National Capital Corporation (FNCC), a full-service commercial equipment and aviation finance provider, announced Melissa Massingham will be promoted to Chief Operating Officer effective Feb. 15.

With deep expertise and experience in finance company operations since 1990, Massingham has extensive knowledge of virtually all aspects of equipment and receivables financing, the company said. She has held positions in documentation, operations, treasury, portfolio management, sales management, accounting, system implementation, taxes and funding partner interface. 

Massingham has been with FNCC for more than 11 years and most recently served as Senior Vice President of Client Relations. Massingham’s prior industry experience included leadership positions with an independent healthcare finance company that saw growth from 12 to more than 400 employees during her tenure.

“Melissa is a terrific leader and outstanding team player with exceptional industry background, excellent work ethic and a positive ‘can do’ attitude,” said Keith Duggan, CEO of FNCC. “Over the years there is not a single job/task or opportunity that she has not been able to handle with ease and confidence.  We feel exceptionally fortunate to have her on our team. We are also proud to promote a female in the No. 2 leadership position in the company.  She is a terrific example of the growth opportunity that FNCC offers all of its employees. We are excited to have Melissa take a much larger role in our organization and help position FNCC for continued growth.”
