Lars Hem
Partner
“I have a deep respect for entrepreneurs. This began early in my career when I worked as a lender to middle market companies located in the South Bronx—a world away from my Indiana roots—and became a passion for me after starting a business myself. I understand firsthand the sacrifices entrepreneurs make. This deep appreciation drives my commitment to supporting business owners.”
