Guy Klingler, a co-founder and former President of First American, announced a significant equity investment in Innovation Finance USA LLC.

“Guy has been a close personal friend and a respected business colleague for two decades,” said Bill Verhelle, CEO of Innovation Finance.  “I’m honored and grateful for Guy’s longstanding friendship and support. We are delighted to have Guy’s participation in this exciting new venture,” added Verhelle.

After co-founding of First American Equipment Finance, one of the most successful commercial finance businesses in the U.S., Klingler served as its President and Verhelle served as CEO.

“At the heart of Innovation Finance is a culture that embraces change to create opportunity,” said Klingler, “I’m thrilled to be supporting and working with a team I already know and respect. Innovation Finance is spearheading an important redirection in the commercial equipment finance industry. I am honored to be part of it.”

Before founding First American, Klingler assisted with the formation and management of Oliver-Allen Corporation's successful computer leasing division in San Francisco, now part of US Bank’s commercial equipment finance business.
