In this role, Gestal will focus on providing equipment finance solutions to emerging technology vendors. Tim Duerr, senior vice president, business development, Key Equipment Finance (KEF) said: “Amy has nearly eight exemplary years with Key in a variety of roles and is one of six KeyCorp employees to recently complete a rotational program with the corporate bank. “She brings experience in credit, business processing, healthcare and bank channel inside sales, and I look forward to working with her to meet the equipment financing needs of emerging technology vendors.” Gestal joined KEF in 2006, gaining positions of increasing responsibility in the bank channel, healthcare and credit analysis, before taking the position of portfolio manager for the leveraged finance group of KeyBanc Capital Markets, where she completed a Structured Career Experience rotational program. Gestal has bachelor of arts degree from Kenyon College. The appointment comes shortly after KEF revealed that it has been selected as the finance partner of Winncom Technologies a worldwide distributor and provider of complete networking solutions. Through the partnership with KEF, customers in the US and Canada purchasing both wired or wireless networking solutions through Winncom’s direct sales team or channel network will be able to take advantage of flexible financing options as part of the sales process.
