Reliability. Candor. Results
Parker is passionate about business financing. He leverages his knowledge and contacts in this areas to support organizations that are looking to scale their operations and grow their market share. While characteristically diplomatic and respectful, Parker is not afraid to “tell it like it is” when speaking professionally or consulting.
Business Finance
Growing up in California, Parker began his business journey at the age of 10 observing his mother (a former commercial banker) manage the cashflow of her women’s fashion wholesale business. Today, he facilitates global organizations’ access to capital including startup funding, factoring, equipment financing, trade finance, lines of credit and other debt financing. Clients served include range from small and medium-sized business to middle-market companis in the US and abroad..
Deal Origination / Business Development
With over 30 years of international and domestic B2B sales experience, Parker is an expert in the science behind prospecting and closing deals. He values data-driven analysis then transcends the “number’s game” to bring a human touch to every transaction. His sales style involves as much art as it does science: ensuring that prospective clients feel heard and that their pain points get resolved with the solutions he proposes.
Paddle Sport
Parker is a former collegiate rower, first at the University of Southern California in the US and later at the Real Club de Regattas during his time studying at the Universidad de Alicante in Spain. He has since transitioned from eight-man crew boats to long distance challenges on stand up paddle boards. His background prepares him to show up to work for his clients daily with an “athlete’s mindset.” An athlete’s mindset—marked by discipline, resilience, and goal-oriented focus—translates powerfully into business by fostering high performance under pressure and continuous improvement. Parker is blessed to be able to introduce others to paddle sports via his current leadership role as Director of Operations at PADL.co.
