ATLANTA-A10 Capital may be a young company, but it is attracting some heavy hitters. The commercial real estate financing firm has hired Chuck Taylor to head up Southeast markets for the firm.

Taylor spent nine years at J.P. Morgan where he was most recently executive director of Commercial Real Estate Capital Markets. As co-head of the Atlanta Regional Office for four years, it consistently surpassed its production goals.

“We are very pleased to have Chuck Taylor join our firm to help us address the demand for commercial real estate financing that we are seeing in the Southeast,” Jerry Dunn, CEO of A10 Capital, said in a statement. “His extensive knowledge of and relationships in those markets will be a great asset to our firm.”
