Shoshannah Walker
BrightBridge Capital, a community development financial institution, announced the addition of Shoshannah Walker to their growing team of financial professionals. Ms. Walker serves as financial officer responsible for accounting, human resources and information technology.
Ms. Walker has over 15 years of experience in the public accounting, corporate and nonprofit sectors. She previously served as the CFO of Girls, Inc. of Chattanooga, where her initiative to stabilize its finances and best utilize its financial resources was recognized by the national office.
“Any time I get the chance to help an organization that is helping small businesses and entrepreneurs, I consider that a tremendous opportunity and an honor.
With BrightBridge, my goal is to maximize our resources to put the organization in the best financial condition in order to ultimately help businesses that put more people to work,” said Ms. Walker.
Ms. Walker is a graduate of the College of New Jersey, with a bachelor’s degree in special education and rehabilitative services. She earned her master of accountancy degree from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and obtained her CPA license shortly thereafter. With a desire to further specialize her accounting services, she obtained a Sarbanes Oxley certification and earned enough credits for a nonprofit accounting specialization.
Bill Pollard, of BrightBridge said, “We’re thrilled to welcome Shoshannah to our team. At BrightBridge, we work closely with business owners to understand and address capital gaps that cannot be filled by traditional financial institutions. Shoshannah brings a wealth of experience in various industries making her well positioned to meet the needs of small business owners and assist with receiving financing that is best suited to them.”
