MLC - Lease Financing Experts - Energy, Education, Technology, Equipment, Vehicles

Renee M. Piché, President

Ms. Piché founded MLC in 1994 envisioning a better way to help communities get the equipment and technology they need while effectively dealing with ever-tighter budgets. Over the past three decades, lease financing has proven to be a cost-effective and extremely successful way to meet the increasing number and variety of services municipal governments offer their communities.

Ms. Piché began her financial career in 1984 with Norstar Bank in their newly formed Municipal Leasing Division. She continued to develop the product throughout the Fleet Bank acquisition until 1991. Subsequently, Ms. Piché joined KeyCorp as a Municipal Leasing Manager, building a fledgling department into a solid industry success. She was responsible for the development of a successful line of municipal leasing products nationwide.

As MLC puts 15 very successful years behind it, Ms. Piché leads the effort to continue providing innovative new lease financing solutions to help municipalities get the equipment and technology they need.
