AltCap Adds New Business Development Leader, Texas Market President
AltCap, a impact-focused small business lender, is excited to share the addition of two key team members that will help grow our mission across the Heartland.
Sales veteran Brian Savoy II will now serve as AltCap’s Director of Business Development, leading the non-profit Community Development Financial Institution’s growth in Missouri and Kansas.
Brian draws on more than 20 years of experience in business development with an emphasis on culture and talent development.
He previously held executive sales roles at Mylo, Bank Midwest, CardConnect and others. In addition to loving live music and all Kansas City sports teams, Brian and his wife, Liz, love traveling with their three children.
“AltCap’s mission to connect capital with underserved communities is what drew me to the organization,” Brian said. “For me, community development means looking at our city from a macro view and seeing where I add value and create an impact using my talents and network. I’m excited to help AltCap continue its growth in Kansas and Missouri.”
Community development professional Shaundra Jacobs also recently joined AltCap, serving as its Market President in Texas.
In addition to working within non-profits for more than five years, Shaundra draws on several years experience at DreamSpring, a CDFI that helps entrepreneurs start and grow their businesses. She also earned her Master's degree in Community Development from Prairie View A&M University and serves as a Bunker Labs Ambassador in support of Veteran entrepreneurs.
Shaundra is a mother of two boys and enjoys exploring new restaurants and traveling.
“I'm excited about AltCap's commitment to supporting small businesses in underserved communities,” Shaundra said. “I am beyond grateful to be able to work in a role that allows me to be a valuable resource and provide essential capital to entrepreneurs.”
