Red Oak Capital Holdings Adds Finance Experts in Southwest, Northeast
Charlotte-based Red Oak Capital Holdings, LLC has added two seasoned finance experts to its growing team. The company has brought on Will Flaa as SVP – investments, and Ken Wood as regional manager – Northeast. They will respectively be based in Dallas and in Norwalk, CT.
“By hiring Will and Ken, Red Oak has effectively added more than 60 years of industry knowledge to our team, which is already one of the strongest in the field of alternative lending,” said Gary Bechtel, Red Oak’s CEO. “In fact, onboarding seasoned, experienced finance professionals has always been a major tenet of our broader goal of bringing our operations to a more sophisticated, institutional level.”
Flaa comes to Red Oak from KeyBank Capital, where he was an SVP and relationship manager. That was preceded by a role as SVP-investment officer with Encore Enterprises, Inc., where he directed the day-to-day operations of debt placement for the Dallas-based company and managed its institutional and high-net worth capital program.
Before joining Red Oak, Wood ran the Northeast origination operations first for Money360, and then for Verus CREF. Over a six-year period, he handled an average of 80 to 100 loan originations annually through a network of national and local commercial brokers as well as direct clients.
