Former Saluda Grade executive will expand the credit facilities and institutional capital partnerships that fund Veristone’s balance sheet lending.
KIRKLAND, WA, UNITED STATES, September 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Veristone Capital, a private balance-sheet real estate lender, today announced the appointment of Joe Gonsalves as Executive Vice President of Capital Markets & Strategy, effective Aug. 31, 2026.
Gonsalves joins Veristone from Saluda Grade, a New York–based alternative investment firm specializing in asset-based credit, where he served as Director of Origination Partnerships and built the firm’s residential transition loan (RTL) aggregation business.
He brings more than 20 years of experience across commercial and residential real estate capital markets. Gonsalves began his career as an underwriter and originator in the CMBS group at ABN AMRO/LaSalle Bank, moving into residential markets after the 2008 financial crisis. He later joined HouseCanary as a founding member of its commercial sales team, helping build the company’s data and analytics platform for mortgage trading and single-family rental investing.
The appointment reflects Veristone’s broader push to expand the financing capacity behind its balance sheet as the firm scales its bridge, construction, and rehab lending programs.
“Strengthening our capital strategy and expanding our growth initiatives is a critical next step for Veristone,” said Rhett Bordner, Principal of Veristone Capital. “Joe has spent his career at the intersection of origination and institutional capital, and he knows how to build the partnerships that let us grow without changing what makes us work for borrowers.”
