Briar Capital Real Estate Fund announced its expansion into the Midwest market with the hiring of Jill Kirshenbaum as Senior Vice President of Business Development. 

Based in Chicago, Kirshenbaum is responsible for developing and maintaining relationships with those in the lending community (asset-based lenders, factors, banks, turnaround professionals, brokers, etc.) to generate asset-based commercial real estate loan opportunities.
 
“We couldn’t be happier to have Jill join us,“ said Jeff Van Sickle, President of Briar Capital Real Estate Fund. “Jill prides herself on bringing collaborative solutions to the table to help businesses in need of working capital. Her deep connections in the Midwest are a tremendous fit as most of our real estate loans are closed in conjunction with other asset based lenders who finance receivables, inventory, and/or machinery and equipment.”
