Dallas-based Triumph Financial Inc. announced a series of leadership appointments that are designed to strengthen its organizational structure and position it for long-term growth and innovation in the transportation and financial services industry.
The company said that Kim Fisk has been named president, factoring.
Fisk joined Triumph in 2012 and has served in key leadership roles within the factoring segment’s credit, underwriting, and operations. Triumph said Fisk has a proven track record of driving business performance and operational excellence in the transportation industry.
Fisk succeeds Tim Valdez, who will transition to the role of chairman of the factoring segment. In his new role, Valdez will provide strategic oversight and guidance to ensure the continued success of the factoring segment.
Todd Ritterbusch has taken on an expanded role as president, payments and banking, Triumph said. He joined the company in 2019, initially serving as TBK Bank’s chief lending officer until 2022, when he was appointed president of the bank.
With more than 25 years of banking experience, Ritterbusch’s understanding of the company’s operations and strategic vision will be instrumental in leading Triumph’s banking and payments segments, the company said.
David Vielehr has been named president of LoadPay, Triumph Financial’s digital banking platform for the trucking industry.
Vielehr joined Triumph last year to assist in bringing LoadPay to market, the company said. With extensive experience in financial technology and product development, Ritterbusch is well-positioned to lead the next phase of growth and innovation for the LoadPay product, Triumph said.
“These leadership appointments reflect our commitment to building a strong, focused structure that positions Triumph to achieve our ambitious goals,” Aaron P. Graft, founder, vice chairman and CEO of Triumph Financial, said in a statement. “Kim, Todd and David are experienced leaders with the expertise and vision needed to drive innovation and deliver value to our customers and shareholders.”
Triumph said these leadership changes illustrate its commitment to aligning its business segments to drive operational excellence and strategic growth.
