Mitsubishi HC Capital America has named Fred Ventresca as Director of Originations, Structured Finance. His focus will be on the company’s core sectors of clean energy, mobility, and technology.

Based in Norwalk, CT, Ventresca will be responsible for developing new partnerships that focus on financing private equity transactions, providing growth capital for businesses, and designing financing programs for scaling “as-a-service” businesses. Solutions include project and structured finance credit facilities, equipment leases and loans, cash flow loans, sales financing programs and purchases of portfolios or recently completed transactions.

Mitsubishi HC Capital America is a leader in providing structured finance solutions for “behind the meter” energy projects and services such as lighting-as-service, remote energy efficiency software and solutions, programmatic rollouts of energy efficiency measures, and bundled energy storage solutions. The company’s facilities are programmatic in nature, starting with the first project and are also highly customized to meet each client’s specific needs.

“We are committed to helping achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals both through how we operate and in how we support our clients’ clean technology efforts,” said Chris Pagano, Structured Finance Vice President and General Manager. “We have provided innovative financial solutions to clean tech businesses for many years, and Fred’s hiring further strengthens our ability to provide distinctly valuable solutions to assist our clients in scaling their businesses.

“We believe his behind-the-meter industry knowledge and direct operating experience represent an important enhancement to the value we provide our clients,” added Pagano. “As the clean technology sector continues to rapidly grow and companies need unique, customized financing solutions to implement their projects, we’ll have another expert on our team, which is why we are investing in additional leaders of Fred’s caliber. We are thrilled to welcome him.”

Previously Ventresca served as Managing Director at Value Creation Partners. Prior to that, he held positions of increasing authority at ConEdison Solutions and GE Capital.

Ventresca holds an MBA degree in marketing and a Bachelor of Science degree in business management, both from Fairfield University. He is also Six Sigma Green Belt certified from General Electric.
