[Fredslist] My New Friend

[Fred Klein]

Some of you may know Ron Tucker ( a great networker) and Ron asked me to
meet with Steve Schoen who had recently lost his job.  I did so yesterday
morning, and found Steve to be engaging, friendly, a quick study and
someone I would like  to help. I felt as if I had found a new friend.  As
such, I invited Steve to the Formica I lunch that same day, where he made a
poignant and impressive presentation to the group. We repeated the
experience today at the Bandit lunch.

I understand we're seeing resumes from many professionals that have been
affected by headcount reductions, but I've met Steve in person and can
vouch for him as a person of great integrity who will be a value-added
addition to any organization he joins.

From listening to Steve and reading his resume, his background is in asset
securitization and other forms of debt financing, along with their related
activities which include portfolio credit analysis, due diligence,
derivatives structuring, working with bond rating agencies and accountants,
managing internal and external deal teams and making presentations to
institutional investors.  Among his many accomplishments during his time at
GE, Steve developed and managed what has now become a $20B private label
credit card trust and GE Capital's largest S.E.C. registered
securitization, raising over $30B of financing during the four years he
managed this program.

In addition to securitization, capital markets and commercial lending
opportunities, which are limited at this time, Steve is utilizing his
skills and experience to explore adjacent areas such as treasury,
relationship management/marketing and structured finance advisory services,
each of which can be conducted in a variety of settings (i.e., corporation,
bank, finance company, consulting, private equity, etc.).  He would also
consider a more entrepreneurial path as well if the “right” opportunity
that presented itself.


Please read Steve's resume below and think of some good leads for a very
worthy individual.  Thanks.

Steve's contact info is on his resume below.
