Mitchell D. Weiss formed the financial consulting firm of M. D. Weiss LLC in October 2008 to assist banking industry and private equity executives in the areas of credit risk management, regulatory compliance relationship management, strategic direction and organizational optimization.

Immediately prior to forming M. D. Weiss, Mitch was Chairman and CEO of Center Capital Corporation, a specialty finance company that became a wholly owned subsidiary of Webster Bank (NYSE: WBS) in 2001. He joined Center Capital in August 1992, at a time when the company and its then-bank parent were experiencing financial distress. He helped to restore the company to profitability and was named its CEO in 1995. Soon after, Mitch implemented company-wide process-redesign and strategic redirection initiatives, through which he reconstituted the management team, flattened and streamlined the organizational structure, and conceived and implemented a revised approach to market. He and his hand-picked team acquired the company in 1996 via a leveraged buyout that Mitch structured and negotiated, and for which he raised both equity and debt capital. He sold the firm to Webster Bank in March 2001. Under Mitch’s leadership, Center Capital’s financial, operational and credit performance metrics ranked among the best in its industry.

Since October 2008, M.D. Weiss LLC has undertaken a broad and diverse array of assignments in the financial services industry in each of the aforementioned areas of expertise, involving commercial as well as consumer banking and finance.
