Mezzanine Debt Investor — Investor Reviewer

**Frank Castellano** is a Senior Partner at Golub Capital in Chicago, where he structures $20-100M mezzanine loans for PE-backed companies. He's been in leveraged lending for 24 years — started at GE Capital in 2002, survived the financial crisis, watched GE Capital implode, and landed at Golub where he's closed over 300 deals. He grew up in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, the son of a plumber. His father's advice — "never lend money you can't afford to lose" — is literally framed on his office wall.
