David Cortez

Bio & Contact

David Cortez Lafayette, LA

I was drawn to the financial industry after years of observing my father as a commercial banker, and my interest in the financial field deepened throughout graduate school. In 2005, after Hurricane Katrina, many oilfield service customers in our factoring portfolio that could not obtain traditional bank financing experienced accelerated revenue growth. Witnessing those customers grow, stabilize and transition to traditional bank lines of credit inspired me to stay in the factoring industry.

After obtaining my Bachelor’s degree in Marketing from Nicholls State University, I pursued my MBA at the University of Louisiana Lafayette. While completing the program, I worked part time as a credit analyst for a Nontraditional Lender (BIDCO) that made SBA loans to businesses. After I received my MBA in 1999, I further pursued my career in the commercial lending industry where I worked for BizCapital BIDCO and Union Planters Bank, loaning money to businesses utilizing the SBA and USDA government guaranteed loan programs.

David Lee

Bio & Contact

David Lee Baton Rouge, LA

David Lee is a native of Baton Rouge. After graduating from LSU, he found himself in the banking industry, where he quickly realized that there are many good businesses selling good products and services that just do not meet the requirements for bank financing. He was also frustrated by the restrictions and regulations placed on banks. In 2001, through an association with Louis Greenblatt at Fidelity Bank, Lee was introduced to invoice factoring and he realized that there were other viable options for providing financial support for companies besides bank credit.

He left banking in 2004 and has been involved in the factoring industry in both spot (single invoice) factoring and standard factoring. Lee says he looks forward every day to helping more Louisiana companies find their way to long-term growth and profitability.

“The opportunity of working every day with bankers looking to help clients that they are not able to finance and the clients they refer to us that just need some support to help them reach their goals is a great privilege and all the motivation I need each day,” he says.

Lee also is involved with his community, including as past president of the Baton Rouge Crisis Intervention Center, a member of the National Association of Credit Managers and a volunteer mentor with SCORE.
