White Oak Commercial Finance (“WOCF”), an affiliate of White Oak
Global Advisors, today announced the hiring of two new executives:
Matthew DeBernardo as Managing Director of Originations, and Blake
Voyles as Head of Lower Middle Market Underwriting. The hires
further enhance WOCF’s ABL offerings and capabilities in
underwriting and deploying flexible capital solutions for middle
market firms.
DeBernardo and Voyles join a growing team with international
reach and cross-industry expertise. Matt and Blake join other new
hires by WOCF in 2024 that include Meredith Fitz and Chris Gouskos.
Meredith serves as Head of Portfolio for WOCF and a voting member
of the WOCF Credit Committee. Chris Gouskos also joined WOCF in
2024 as a Managing Director of WOCF Originations, located in
Atlanta. Lastly, Sungwook Han was recently promoted to Senior Vice
President and portfolio manager in our Los Angeles office.
DeBernardo joins from eCapital Corporation where he served as
Senior Vice President of ABL Origination, identifying ABL deals
valued between $3MM to $50MM. Prior to eCapital Corporation, he
served as Senior Vice President at Alterna Capital Solutions and
began his career at GE Capital. In the new position, DeBernardo
will leverage his differentiated network to source opportunities
and cement WOCF as the ABL platform of choice for middle market
companies.
Voyles also joins WOCF from eCapital Corporation, where he was
Senior Vice President, Director of Underwriting, responsible for
all aspects of due diligence and underwriting for ABL transactions
ranging from $3MM to upwards of $50MM. At WOCF, Voyles will bolster
the firm’s sophisticated underwriting capabilities in the lower
middle market, providing a compelling solution for non-sponsored
backed firms in need of flexible capital.
“We are excited to welcome Matt and Blake to the WOCF team,”
said Tom Otte, CEO of White Oak Commercial Finance. “Their
extensive experience sourcing and underwriting middle market
lending opportunities further solidifies WOCF’s position as the
