The QuickFi leadership team previously built and exited First American Equipment Finance, one of the most successful commercial finance businesses in the United States. Now they are building the next-generation lending platform — powered by AI and embedded at the point of sale.

Chief Executive Officer & Founder
Bill co-founded First American Equipment Finance in 1996, building it into one of the largest commercial equipment finance companies in the U.S. before its acquisition by the Royal Bank of Canada. He founded Innovation Finance USA LLC (QuickFi) in 2018 to reimagine equipment lending through embedded finance and AI. Bill holds a J.D. from Cornell Law School, an MBA from UCLA Anderson, and a B.G.S. from the University of Michigan. He served as Chairman of the Equipment Leasing and Finance Association (ELFA) in 2009.
