RICK INMAN - FOUNDER

Prior to founding Iron Bridge, Mr. Inman served as President of Tucker Federal Bank for 11 years. In that role, Mr. Inman grew the bank from $250 million to $1.2 billion in total assets, managed more than 300 employees, and in 1997, founded Eagle Bancshares Capital Group as a subsidiary investment group of the bank. Eagle Bancshares invested over $30 million in preferred equity transactions and earned a cumulative annual return of 29.95 percent, primarily in commercial real estate transactions in the Southeast, that provided a proof of concept for Iron Bridge’s initial business plan. At Tucker Federal, Mr. Inman also acquired distressed loans from the Resolution Trust Corporation and successfully managed many of the defaulting loans he inherited at the onset of his tenure as President. Through his leadership, Tucker Federal was well-positioned for a lucrative buy-out by RBC Centura. Upon aligning the sale of the bank in 2001, Inman left Tucker Federal to join forces with Mr. Hand to start Iron Bridge Capital Partners.

Mr. Inman began his career with Citibank in New York in the workout department and has over 25 years of lending, workout and investment experience. Before joining Tucker Federal, Mr. Inman acquired and sold two food companies. He received an M.B.A. from Stanford University and a B.S. in Economics from Georgia Tech.

JOHN R. HAND - FOUNDER

Prior to founding Iron Bridge, Mr. Hand worked in acquisitions for Westbrook Partners in New York, a $6 billion real estate opportunity fund. While at Westbrook, Mr. Hand underwrote, structured, and executed acquisitions of more than $1 billion for Funds II and III across all commercial property types, with concentrations in resort development, including high-end fractional resort development as well as multi-family development, multi-state and international office portfolios, and master-planned residential communities. Most of these transactions were focused in the Eastern U.S. and Europe, while the West Coast Office of Westbrook focused on the Western U.S. and Asia acquisitions.

Mr. Hand began his career at King & Spalding in Atlanta. As a commercial real estate attorney, he executed more than 100 real estate transactions ranging in size from $2 million to over $1 billion for nationally-focused institutional real estate clients. Mr. Hand received his J.D./M.B.A. from Vanderbilt in 1995, where he served on the Vanderbilt Law Review. He also received his B.S. in Business Administration from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, graduating with distinction.
