Republic Business Credit Continues Growth Trajectory with Addition of Danielle Wright-Madison as VP, Underwriting

NEW ORLEANS – When Republic Business Credit saw an opportunity to add an experienced finance expert to their team in New Orleans, they jumped at the chance. Danielle Wright-Madison, who began her career as a financial analyst and most recently served as a field exam manager for a major national banking institution, is among the new hires at Republic’s NOLA headquarters.

Wright-Madison will take on the role of Vice President, Underwriting, and report directly to Republic’s Senior Vice President, Underwriting Manager, Brian Daray.

“Danielle’s breadth of experience in finance and underwriting make her a perfect fit for our growing business,” Daray said. “She will be a key player on our team, working closely with the underwriting, client services and new business teams to guide us toward prospective borrowers that make sense for us and our partners.”

“I am truly looking forward to working within the entrepreneurial environment of Republic and leveraging my skill set of problem solving, leadership, support and training,” Wright-Madison said.

In her role, Wright-Madison will support the firms’ teams across its suite of products that include asset-based lending, e-commerce and factoring. She also will be responsible for reviewing and assessing clients for compliance against standard credit policies and procedures.

Prior to Republic, Wright-Madison was continually promoted at a major national bank, honing her expertise in field examination, due diligence, billing, records, inventory collateral and credit assessment.

She earned a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Xavier University of Louisiana, is a member of the Business Achievers Association, National Association of Black Accountants and has volunteered for an IRS tax assistance program.

“We were looking for someone in our New Orleans office who would be a proactive contributor to our community and prospective clients, as well as provide critical guidance in all aspects of client due diligence and compliance. It’s an important role, and we’re thrilled to be able to add Danielle to the incredible talent pool at Republic,” Republic President Robert Meyers said.
