WWW.WISPA.ORG 11 www.bekabusinessmedia.com DAY 1 Longtime LEAF CEO Announces Retirement LEAF Commercial Capital, a U.S.-based equipment leasing and finance company and M&T Bank subsidiary, announced that former CEO, Crit DeMent, will step away from his position as company chair in favor of retirement this year. DeMent is a veteran of the equipment finance industry for more than 40 years. He and former COO/current CEO Miles Herman developed LEAF into a leading independent equipment finance brand. “It has been my incredible good fortune to lead such an amazing group of people as we’ve worked shoulder-to-shoulder to make LEAF what it is today and position it for all it will be in the years to come,” said DeMent. “And while the company will be in the good hands of Miles and the rest of LEAF’s team, I can’t imagine a world where I don’t check in frequently to share in the excitement of continuing to grow what we’ve built together.” “To say Crit will be missed is an understatement,” said Herman, “though I look forward to keeping him up to date on all the great things going on at the company as he shifts his focus to retirement, no doubt with the same drive, intelligence and enthusiasm he brought with him every day as CEO at LEAF and throughout the four decades of his career in the industry. I am grateful to have called him a business partner and friend all these years, and I wish him all the best.” m Visit LEAF Commercial Capital at WISPAPALOOZA booth #711.
