Tiger Finance Appoints Jason Rae as National Sales Director

In a strategic move to bolster its rapid growth, Tiger Finance has announced the appointment of Jason Rae as the new National Sales Director. With an impressive career spanning 23 years in asset-based lending, Rae brings a wealth of experience in asset valuation, advisory, and disposition services to this pivotal role. His appointment is particularly timely as the financial firm reveals it has committed over $150 million of new capital in the first half of 2025 to support a diverse range of clients.

Since joining Tiger Finance in 2012, Rae has played an instrumental role in the company's expansion. He has been involved in some of its most significant disposition projects and has developed key relationships that have proved beneficial to the firm. In his new position, based out of Boston, Rae will oversee efforts to extend Tiger Finance's reach across the North American market.

His responsibilities include sourcing secured debt opportunities and strengthening existing and new strategic partnerships with lenders, private equity sponsors, advisors, and investment banks. Rae previously co-led the business development team at Tiger Valuation Services, covering markets in New England and Canada. This experience has given him profound insights into asset appraisal and collateral monitoring methodologies, both for consumer goods and industrial products.

Bob DeAngelis, Executive Managing Director of Tiger Finance, expressed his enthusiasm about Rae's appointment, saying, "Having worked with Jason for many years, I have seen firsthand his ability to identify and address customer needs across various industries. We are excited for him to lead our national sales initiatives and deliver innovative capital solutions to our clients."

The news of Rae's new role coincides with recent personnel changes at Tiger. Banking professional Mitch Rubin has also joined the firm as a Senior Director of Business Development, focusing on the New York and Boston markets. Additionally, Eric Schloemer has taken the lead on Canadian operations for Tiger Valuation Services.

Rae expressed his excitement for his new role, stating, "I look forward to collaborating with both new and existing partners to assist clients across North America in unlocking additional liquidity. Our finance platform leverages Tiger's extensive asset intelligence and proprietary analytics, enabling us to provide flexible financing solutions swiftly and efficiently."

Growth in the First Half of 2025

The demand for Tiger Finance's offerings has surged in the first two quarters of 2025. The company reported several notable financing commitments which highlight its commitment to supporting diverse industries. These commitments include:

• - A $25 million term loan for a leading digital fitness and nutrition subscription service.
• - A $26 million revolving line of credit/term loan aimed at boosting a kitchenware and lifestyle brand.
• - A $22.5 million term loan assisting a specialty financing company.

• - A $27.5 million revolving line of credit to a wholesale and e-commerce furniture manufacturer.
• - A $20 million revolving line of credit for a direct-to-consumer e-commerce tool supplier.

DeAngelis noted that as borrowers navigate a volatile marketplace, the importance of accessing agile and intelligent capital cannot be overstated. He emphasized that Tiger's comprehensive understanding of asset management, combined with its solution-driven approach, has resulted in consistent growth and success in meeting client needs.
