West Capital Lending Hires Kyle Fleeger To Lead Growth Initiative

West Capital Lending announced on Tuesday that it has hired Kyle Fleeger to lead the development of the company’s new career growth platform, an initiative that will support new bankers, experienced originators and future leaders inside West Cap.

According to a release from the California-based brokerage, the growth program will “give someone a clear path to enter the industry, grow through structured development and advance into entrepreneurship and leadership roles, all within the same company.”

Fleeger most recently served as senior vice president of sales at loanDepot and spent a decade at the company. While at loanDepot, Fleeger worked with Giorgio Bertoul, who became West Cap’s president of sales at the end of September.

“Since joining the mortgage industry, I have always wanted to understand what a complete career path looks like for a loan officer,” Fleeger said. “Some lenders are excellent at developing new bankers. Brokers excel at giving experienced originators freedom and the opportunity to grow their income. What has been missing is a place where someone can start, develop real skill and continue building a career without switching companies.”

Fleeger continued, “Giorgio is one of the most authentic and dependable leaders I have ever worked with. He cares deeply about the people around him and creates a culture that reflects that. When West Cap brought him in, it immediately caught my attention. After seeing the long-term vision from Danny and Eric, I knew this was the right fit. They want to build something that stands out in the industry, and I am excited to play a part in it.”

Bertoul expressed his enthusiasm at Fleeger joining West Cap and called the hire a “a strategic move to grow our Retail Correspondent channels nationwide.”

“Kyle has a proven track record leading high-performance teams, most recently overseeing consumer direct lending in the Arizona market while also running one of the strongest new hire loan officer training programs in the industry,” Bertoul said.
