Fidelity Bancorp Names President for Private Lending Group

Fidelity Bancorp Funding Inc., which specializes in commercial real estate, multifamily and single-family residential bridge loans and permanent financing, appointed Charlie Woo as president of its private lending group, Fidelity Bridge Loans LLC. In this role, Woo will be responsible for expanding the Santa Ana-based company’s Bridge Lending division. 

Woo brings more than 27 years’ real estate finance experience to Fidelity Bancorp Funding Inc., most recently serving as vice chairman in Wells Fargo’s Corporate & Investment Banking division. He led Wells Fargo’s U.S. regional investment banking coverage group and demonstrated remarkable results in the specialty finance and alternative lending sectors. 

“We are confident in Charlie’s ability to lead the company’s efforts in expanding this business,” said David Frosh, CEO of Fidelity Bancorp Funding. “At Wells Fargo, Charlie’s team advised on more M&A deals in private and alternative lending than any other advisor on Wall Street.”
