Hyperion Bank has named Susan F. Battle Senior Vice President & Director of SBA Lending. Battle has four decades’ experience in U.S. Small Business Administration lending. She will be based in Atlanta and will serve borrowers throughout the Eastern U.S. and across most industries.

“Susan has a reputation for working closely with entrepreneurs and other borrowers, no matter their SBA knowledge level or stage of the process, and that tailored approach is a great fit for our customers,” says Lou DeCesare, Hyperion President & COO. “She genuinely enjoys being on the front lines helping small business owners obtain the loans they need to reach their goals.”

Prior to joining Team Hyperion, Battle served in various SBA roles for a variety of Southeast banks in management positions including Director of SBA Lending. Battle has assisted new and existing businesses using the SBA 7(a) and 504 loan programs across a variety of industries including business acquisitions, franchise lending, hospitality, childcare, car washes, poultry farms and service businesses.

“I am passionate about helping entrepreneurs make their goals a reality,” Battle says, “and walk in step with them as they prepare for the process, shepherding them through it. And here at Hyperion we’re small business entrepreneurs, so we have that shared perspective, as well as deep experience, to bring to your SBA lending.”
