Leadership Matters...
We are excited to announce BlackFin’s President & CEO, Keith Kemph, is a 2025 Luminary Award winner. The Progress in Lending Luminary Award is one of the highest honors of acknowledgement in the financial services industry – recognizing those leaders who are relentlessly and unselfishly inspiring and influencing others while passionately creating new strategies, products, and services that help their companies, clients, and the overall financial services industry thrive. When considering today’s financial services and lending markets are filled with uncertainty, the 2025 Luminaries are helping everyone they engage successfully navigate the fluctuating market conditions.
Our team of nationally recognized lending experts must meet a rigid set of requirements and have proven industry expertise to officially represent BlackFin. Our teammates must subscribe to our value set of transparency and communication, have a get-in and get-out approach (we aren’t looking to live on your P&L). They must possess the highest levels of integrity and character. They must enjoy working with and serving our clients. Better than just advisors; we’ve lived in the day-to-day shoes of our clients. Simply said, we aren’t just advisors, we are experts. Learn more about our team: Leadership Team Bio's.
