CapStar’s Mark Niethammer Selected to Participate in National GGL Leadership Program
July 16 2021 - 6:14PM
Mark Niethammer, Director of Government Guaranteed Lending at
CapStar Bank, was recently selected to participate in the National
Association of Government Guaranteed Lender’s (NAGGL) inaugural
Future Leading Lenders Program (FLLP).
From 50 eligible candidates nationwide, Niethammer is one of
only twelve selected to participate. The interactive FLLP
experience is intended to recognize and develop the next generation
of 7(a) industry leaders who are building or expanding their SBA
teams. The best in class program is geared toward broadening
expertise and deepening engagement.
The curriculum consists of four modules spanning nine months,
including opportunities to attend flagship NAGGL events and
culminating with program graduation during the annual Leadership
Summit in April 2022.
“I am honored by the opportunity to participate in the
industry’s premier leadership program,” said Niethammer. “This
represents a tremendous distinction for both our team and CapStar
as NAGGL recognizes the bank as an emerging national leader in the
SBA space.”
Niethammer joined CapStar in early 2018 from Synovus Bank as one
of a trio of bankers who launched the SBA lending group. He was
promoted to Director of Government Guaranteed Lending in 2020.
Under his leadership, the division has expanded to reach 38 states
and is established as one of Tennessee’s top five 7(a) lenders.
Recently, CapStar was recognized as a statewide PPP leader relative
to asset size, protecting more 26,000 local jobs amid the COVID-19
pandemic.
“We are especially proud of the strides made by our GGL team
since its inception in 2018. CapStar’s foresight in assembling such
expertise has been particularly vital to our communities over the
last year as their leadership in processing PPP and other SBA loans
to benefit Tennessee’s small businesses is unparalleled,” said
Chris Tietz, CapStar’s EVP of Specialty Banking. “In his GGL
leadership role and beyond, Mark is a remarkable talent and
teammate. We are certainly pleased his efforts have been recognized
on a national scale.”
