Movers & Shakers: David Moored & Tom Francis Step Into New Roles

David Moored Named Vice President of Business Development at ACC Capital

“We are thrilled to have Dave join the ACC team. I’ve worked with him in the past and I know he is one of the best in the business. It is rare that an individual of Dave’s caliber comes along and we are lucky to have him here at ACC,” says Craig Calafati, Executive Vice President and Director of Lending.

ACC Capital has announced the hiring of David Moored as Vice President of Business Development. Moored will be based in Venice, Florida and joins ACC Capital with over 20 years of experience in the banking industry – focusing in on SBA Lending 12 years ago, as an effective way to help businesses meet their business goals.

Dave earned his undergraduate degree in Business Administration and Economics from Hope College in Holland, Michigan. He then gained his MBA degree from the University of Michigan and is an avid Wolverines fan.

Dave spent half of his business career in the private sector, primarily as a CFO for various small to mid-sized companies. He also spent time as a business general manager and sales manager. He was involved in several industries, including printing, publishing, aviation, and cell phones.

ACC is a multifaceted CDFI recently chosen by the SBA to receive one of three new SBLC licenses, allowing it to provide SBA lending services nationwide.
