Fiocco attended an ALFP this fall, and shares, “I’ve had the opportunity to work across multiple departments within the equipment finance industry – from operations to sales to marketing. That broad exposure has given me a well-rounded perspective and appreciation for how each function contributes to exceptional service. I’ve always felt that this compounded knowledge helps me better serve our clients and anticipate challenges. Pursuing my CLFP certification was a natural extension of that mindset, allowing me to deepen my expertise and strengthen the industry areas where I have knowledge gaps. I truly believe that when we silo ourselves into one area of expertise, we limit our impact and growth. Expanding our knowledge beyond our roles makes us stronger teammates and more trusted advisors.”
The CLFP designation represents the highest standard of knowledge and integrity in equipment finance, uniting professionals who are committed to advancing the industry through excellence and continued learning. There are currently Certified Lease & Finance Professionals and Associates located throughout the United States (including Puerto Rico), Canada, India, Pakistan, Africa, New Zealand, and Australia.
