Republic Business Credit Adds Katherine Hebert Seghers as VP, Senior Accountant in New Orleans
NEW ORLEANS – Republic Business Credit continued its national growth trajectory with a new addition at the company’s home office in New Orleans. Katherine Hebert Seghers, an experienced data analyst and financial accounts manager, recently joined the firm as Vice President, Senior Accountant. A graduate of Loyola University New Orleans with an MBA from University of New Orleans, Seghers brings more than a decade of experience in managing financial accounts.
“I am thrilled to join the Republic team. My position is a dual role that will expand my financial skill set while allowing me the opportunity to learn the secured finance field through various special projects. I love the possibility to learn something new, which made this role so appealing,” Seghers said. “Meeting the team and seeing Republic’s company spirit in person along with their continuous growth reaffirmed why Republic is a leader in the secured finance industry and where I want to be.”
Seghers will report directly to Republic SVP, Controller Diane Wszalek.
“Katherine is a much-needed addition to the team, and I look forward to collaborating and working with her across our business planning and financial reporting requirements, as we balance our short- and long-term goals together,” Wszalek said.
In her role, Seghers will contribute to the strategic and growth goals of the firm while overseeing critical day-to-day accounting needs. She will use her accounting expertise to oversee and manage reconciliations in all operating systems, complete weekly accounts processing, compile monthly client analysis and fee assessment, and assist the controller on any special projects, such as third-party risk & vendor management and SOX auditing. Her prior experience in marketing and communications will also be a valuable asset as she assists with marketing projects.
“Our firm is growing and it’s important to add to our team in a way that supports senior executives in some of our critical day-to-day responsibilities in an ever evolving and developing industry. We’re lucky to have Katherine and her wealth of experience on board,” said Republic Chief Executive Officer Stewart Chesters.
