I was fortunate to have the opportunity to learn about commercial lending and entrepreneurship from the perspective of two commercial bankers in one interview.
George Madden is a Senior Vice President of SunTrust Bank and has been a commercial banker since 1978, specializing in “giving clients accessibility, responsiveness, and results in their banking relationship.” His colleague, Daryl Griffith, is a Vice President and Commercial Relationship Manager with SunTrust Bank and has over a decade of experience working with business owners, and often consults with entrepreneurs seeking funding for their new venture.

This interview was conducted with Tammy Magid of TMC Working Solutions, a lender offering microloans, business coaching, and education for San Francisco Bay Area entrepreneurs.

LINDSAY: How did you get involved with financial lending as a career?

1. What is your general job description?
I have 30+ years in the Banking Industry including commercial banking, business and corporate borrowing, cash management, and estimate and retirement planning. I currently work in commercial lending for Newbridge Bank trying to create/grow commercial loans.
