Under my leadership, RCN Capital will continue to take great pride in setting the highest ethical standards in the private lending industry and moving our space forward as a whole."

The Connecticut-based company has begun the process of assembling a Board of Directors with extensive experience in real estate finance. The Board will provide additional oversight to assist with RCN Capital's continuing growth initiatives.
