Fifth Street Finance has announced that Casey Zmijeski has joined the firm as a managing director.

Mr Zmijeski will be based in Fifth Street's New York office and will be responsible for developing and maintaining private equity sponsor relationships and sourcing debt financing opportunities in the eastern region of the US, similar to his role at Churchill Financial.

Casey, who will lead our origination efforts in the eastern region, is a key addition. His knowledge and expertise will be tremendous assets as we continue to deepen our sponsor coverage and expand our national footprint."
