Ansley Park Capital, a lending and speciality finance platform, has made four strategic appointments across its finance, origination and operations functions as it continues to grow.
Rachel Kranitz has been hired as senior managing director and controller, and will lead the firm’s accounting, financial reporting, and control functions.
She joins from GE HealthCare, where she served as senior manager of lease accounting with responsibility for financial reporting and technical accounting initiatives for a $250m (£186.6m) global real estate portfolio.

Prior to that, Kranitz held a series of senior controllership roles at General Electric, where she led enterprise-wide finance transformation initiatives, and enhanced governance and compliance frameworks.
In addition, Ansley Park has hired David Gomes as vice president and assistant controller to support the various control functions of the company.
He worked at General Electric and GE Capital for more than a decade in a variety of senior finance leadership roles and, most recently, as a controllership consultant, supporting accounting and SEC reporting functions at Mastercard and Rite Aid.
Audrey Trollinger also joins as assistant vice president, originations, with a focus on supporting the firm’s deal origination and portfolio growth.

Her experience is in equipment finance and renewable energy lending. In her previous role at First Horizon Bank, she supported the management and analysis of a multi-billion-dollar loan and lease portfolio and led credit quality monitoring and reporting initiatives.
Finally, Susan Parker has been appointed by Ansley Park as director of office operations, with responsibility for overseeing day-to-day administrative and operational functions. She has more than 20 years of corporate and business experience, including as chief executive of her own business.
The appointments follow two hires made by Ansley Park to its capital markets team last month.
“Each brings meaningful experience and a strong track record in their respective disciplines. Just as importantly, they reflect the culture we have worked to build at Ansley Park – one that emphasises integrity, discipline, and collaboration, and that has been recognised across the industry,” said Eric Miller, president and chief executive of Ansley Park Capital.
He added: “These additions reflect our commitment to building a disciplined, institutional-quality platform, as we continue to focus on scaling the business thoughtfully, with the right people, processes, and controls in place.”
The New York-based firm provides flexible and customised financing solutions for essential-use, large-ticket equipment and machinery. It was launched by Ares Management in 2024 and established by a fund managed by Ares Alternative Credit.
