Junior Debt Lending and Advisory added to CIBC’s Commercial Banking services

CHICAGO, MARCH 21, 2022 — CIBC today announced its new Junior Debt Lending and Advisory team within the bank’s U.S. Commercial Banking group. This marks its 17th specialty banking area.

“Our clients require the ideal capital structure to ensure their business’ success,” said Bruce Hague, president of U.S. Commercial Banking. “At CIBC, we craft tailored lending solutions and offer high-touch advisory and strategic support to help them achieve their ambitions."

The experienced Junior Debt Lending and Advisory team is led by industry veteran Charlie Sheridan.

Previously, he served as executive director of the Financial Sponsors Group at J.P. Morgan.

  • Acquisition financing
  • Capital expenditures
  • Recapitalizations
