Provide Expands Into Veterinary Practice Lending With the Addition of Two Key Hires
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Provide, one of the fastest growing lenders in healthcare, announces today its expansion into the veterinary space. As the healthcare industry's leading digital finance company, Provide financially empowers providers to achieve their practice ownership dreams through a streamlined, online finance experience and personalized customer service.
"There are more than 45,000 veterinarians employed in the U.S. today, and we couldn't be more excited for the opportunity to help them on their ownership journeys, whether that be starting or expanding their practices. We're excited to bring our deep expertise of healthcare lending and unmatched network of industry partners to veterinarians across the country," Provide Co-founder and CEO Daniel Titcomb said.
To oversee this expansion, Provide has hired two of the veterinary industry's most experienced and respected leaders: Cary Crego, who joins Provide as a director of credit, and Bert Hockenberry, who will fill the role of national sales manager.
Crego comes to Provide from Bank of America Practice Solutions, where he led the veterinary credit team. With more than 15 years of experience building innovative credit policies centered on provider-first loan structures, Crego makes the ideal credit leader for Provide's expansion. In his role as director of credit, he will be responsible for building best-in-class, veterinary-focused credit products and growing a team to support those efforts.
"I quickly recognized Provide's unique, client-focused approach has been key to its success in the dental lending space and am excited to bring it to the veterinary industry. Beyond its products, Provide's strength resides in its amazing team, and I'm eager to hit the ground running with the group," Crego said.
Hockenberry joins Provide with over 12 years of experience in veterinary practice lending as a top producer for Bank of America Practice Solutions. He brings to Provide a wealth of knowledge about veterinary practice ownership and a robust network of industry partners. As national sales manager, he will be responsible for building an experienced, high-performing sales team; sourcing and overseeing key national partnerships; and guiding Provide's veterinary market expansion strategy.
"I look forward to building on the strong foundation Provide has already created," Hockenberry said. "In partnership with Cary and the rest of the Provide team, I'm confident we'll quickly bring even more value to the healthcare lending space with this expansion into the veterinary market."
