Bridge Bank Adds Nardulli, Biers and Ogus to Capital Finance Group

Bridge Bank hired Nick Nardulli as assistant vice president of portfolio management, Richard Biers as vice president of portfolio management and Steven Ogus as senior vice president of asset-based lending, all in the company’s capital finance group. The company also hired Timothy Carstens as a managing director in April 2020.

“The current economic environment continues to challenge businesses, potentially putting traditional commercial financing out of reach,” Carstens said. “Our growing team of experienced [professionals] are well positioned to help businesses evaluate the merits of the ABL product to help them achieve their near- and long-term goals.”

Nardulli is an asset-based lending professional with more than five years of experience. Prior to joining Bridge Bank, he held positions at FGI Worldwide and TCJ Holdings.

Biers is an asset-based lending and leverage finance professional with nearly 10 years of experience. Prior to joining Bridge Bank, Biers was vice president in PNC Business Credit’s technology finance group. Biers started his career at Western Alliance Bank, the parent company of Bridge Bank.

Ogus is a banking professional with more than 30 years of experience. Prior to joining Bridge Bank, Ogus was director of business development at Union Bank in San Diego. He also served as senior vice president at Wells Fargo Capital Finance, where he was responsible for developing capital structure solutions for the Southern California and Southwestern regions. Ogus is a member of Connect, Corporate Director’s Forum and the Association for Corporate Growth.
