Chris Youmans, President and CEO Chris S. Youmans
President

I joined the United Capital team in 2000. I’m glad you are on our website. If you’re a client, thanks for your trust; if you are a prospective client, I hope you give us a chance.

While not working, my wife Kristine and I are busy raising our four children. It’s always something, but time well spent. Family events include all types of water sports, golf, volleyball, soccer and basketball; with some good meals mixed in. I was born in Dallas but my folks moved back to the Tampa Bay area when I was two. Florida has been home ever since, as I went to college at the University of South Florida in Tampa. We would welcome the opportunity to serve you.

Ivan T. Baker, Managing Partner Ivan T. Baker
CFO, Managing Partner

I founded United Capital with Jerry Curley in 1997. It has been a very rewarding experience, as I feel like we have helped a lot of businesses take their organizations to the next level.

I am primarily responsible for the finance, underwriting and IT functions for the firm, but spend some time on business developments as well.

I got married in 2011 to my lovely wife, Terri. I have a fabulous daughter, Addison and a very young Golden Retriever named Bo.

Mark Mandula, CMO, Managing Partner

CMO, Managing Partner

I have been part of the great United Capital team since 2000. I am primarily responsible for marketing the professional services of our firm, and other business development efforts. I am honored to be able to serve our amazing clients and help them profitably grow.

I am originally from Ohio, but have been a Floridian since 1994. My wife Kathy and I have 3 children currently in college. Add to this a new Golden Retriever puppy, and I am sure you can see that there is never a dull moment in our house.

Barb Coakley, Senior Staff Accountant

Barb Coakley
Senior Staff Accountant

I have been the “bean counter” at United Capital Funding since 2002; officially the title on my business card is Senior Staff Accountant. I have been promised this is not related to my age, but since I am the only one, I’m not so sure.

I earned my BS in Accounting from the University of South Florida in 2006, working and attending classes at night. I enjoy working here and our corporate culture can’t be beat. I fully intend to remain working here until and possibly past retirement age.

My previous job was an Office Manager for a Pediatrician for 20 years.

I feel very blessed to have found United Capital and it has been a great fit. I have two sons, a great daughter-in-law and an 11 year old granddaughter.

Peggy Dlugozima
Marketing

I work in the Marketing Department and have since I joined the company in 2004. My job duties are varied and that is what keeps the job interesting. The best part of my job is speaking to all of the people that call us seeking information about our company. Over the last 8 years we have signed up hundreds of clients and I think that I have spoken to every one of them. All of the stories are different, but the needs are the same.

I have been married to my husband for 30 years and we have three boys, ages 28, 26 and 13. The youngest one still lives at home and I am not sure I am ready to have a teenager again.

Senior Business Development Officer

I have been a lifetime resident of the Cleveland area. I am joining the United Capital family as Senior Business Development Officer for the Midwest region. I have 40 years experience in marketing, banking and most recently factoring sales director for the Great Lakes region.

 I have been married to my wife, Paula, for 31 years. We have three grown children and one grandchild. Two chocolate labs, Bailey and Gunner, share our home. When not spending time with my family and dogs I enjoy playing golf, motorcycling and traveling.

Donata Koveriene Donata Koveriene
Senior Credit Analyst / Underwriter

I started working at United Capital in 2001, and I’m lucky to work for a company with such strong integrity and respect for its people. Working with our friendly team is a true pleasure.

Among other duties, my contribution at United is primarily underwriting and credit analysis. It is exciting to sign up so many new clients, various businesses that represent the whole spectrum of our economy. It is exciting to see those businesses grow with us and contribute to the growth of the US economy.
