With over 25 years experience in negotiating, marketing, and administering financing and leasing transactions, Steve is responsible for the overall strategy of Tiger Leasing. He enjoys developing financing solutions that support the needs of growing companies, and providing customized service for individual clients on a daily basis.

As so often happens, when one's life's path seems to appear as if by accident, Steve began in the leasing business in the summer of 1979. As a summer project before graduate school, Steve was hired by a law firm to start a regional leasing trade association. Steve's "summer project" turned out to be the creation of the Eastern Association of Equipment Lessors and Steve became its first Executive Director. Today, this association has members all across America and plays a vital role in servicing the needs of independent leasing companies throughout the country.

Fully committed to the benefits of leasing as an innovative and flexible financing solution, Steve next became an officer of First Interstate Bank of California before beginning a successful 18-year run as Vice President-Sales for Wasco Funding Corp. During his tenure at Wasco, now owned by Citigroup, Steve closed over 8,000 individual transactions totaling in excess of $250 million. Through these experiences, Steve has seen and developed almost every conceivable type of leasing transaction and specializes in customizing each transaction to support every customer's unique path of growth.

Steve has a B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania and an MBA from George Washington University. Steve enjoys playing basketball and currently boxes at Gleason's Gym in Brooklyn. Steve, his wife, and daughter, live in Manhattan's downtown Tribeca area. You can e-mail Steve at srobbins@tigerleasing.com or call him directly at (212) 791-2250 ext. 627.
