Florida-based Commercial Finance Firm to have Expert Speak at International Conference


Mark Mandula, chief marketing officer at United Capital Funding will lead a session at WOA’s inaugural convention in October

Tampa, FLA (August 22, 2019) – United Capital Funding Chief Marketing Officer Mark Mandula will represent the commercial finance firm at WOA’s inaugural convention in Belgium. The conference will start on Tuesday, October 7, 2019 and is a two-day event that offers networking and educational opportunities to professionals in the finance industry. The theme of the conference is “A World of Opportunities.”

Mandula’s session, called IKAGAI, why do you get up in the morning? focuses on how professionals can stay relevant and continue to grow throughout their finance-related career. Attendees will learn how to focus on their personal and professional growth and hear key insight into how to become a vital part of their company. Ikigai (pronounced Ick-ee-guy) is a Japanese concept typically used to identify what gives one’s life value.

Mandula and the team at United Capital Funding have grown the factoring firm from a startup to a now subsidiary of an FDIC-insured bank, which has provided more than $3 billion in funding by using the mindset taught in Mandula’s upcoming session.

“Other commercial finance firms are touting transparency and launching high-tech features to improve accessibility,” said Mandula. “This is something we’ve continually demonstrated from our unveiling of our online platform CADENCE to our commitment to transparency towards prospects and clients. In this session, I’m going to share the concepts and commitments that have kept our firm at the forefront of the commercial finance industry.”

The convention starts with an icebreaker reception on October 7, 2019 in Antwerp, Belgium. The following day, October 8, 2019, is a full day of conference sessions and discussions, which will end that evening with a networking dinner.

Tickets start at $774.37 USD (€695 EUR) for WOA members and $1,052.91 USD (€945 EUR) for non-members. Click here to visit WOA’s website to learn more or register.
