Patrick Siegfried - Principal

Patrick brings 15+ years of experience in alternative commercial finance, spanning legal compliance,

operational management, and collections strategy. As Deputy General Counsel at Rapid Finance, he

oversaw collection and recovery activities for a servicing department of 90+ employees managing a

$500M+ receivables portfolio funded through more than $1 billion in annual originations — growing

recovery rates by over 100%, outpacing the nearest competitor by 50%, as evidenced in publicly

commercial creditors in judgment enforcement matters. His work today centers on helping servicing

organizations rebuild first-party collections capability, centralize legal process, and build the internal

teams that make recovery sustainable without over-reliance on third-party placement.
