Samantha Mansfield

VP, Originations & Client Relations

Samantha Mansfield joined the Artes Capital team in 2020 as our Originations Coordinator. She provides support and management for every aspect of each transaction from start to finish throughout the financing process. Samantha excels at project coordination and thrives on being able to bring every detail together for a successful outcome.

“Someone once described my role as chasing squirrels while juggling chainsaws with my eyes closed,” Samantha says. “But my superpower is knowing which balls are rubber and which are glass. And in a fast-paced environment like commercial lending, that type of skill is required.”

What drew Samantha to Artes Capital is our artisan approach and more personal style of service. She gets to be innovative and find effective solutions to problems that arise. Most importantly, Samantha enjoys building relationships with borrowers and the overall collaborative team environment at our company. “I get to add a human touch to the closing side of the transaction, which you don’t always see in this industry.”

Samantha grew up in Miami and then moved to New York City to attend Marymount Manhattan College. When she moved to Los Angeles, she worked for a local real estate agent to get to know the city. After developing her project management skills in different fields, she landed at CCRE where she spent nine years as a closer before joining Artes Capital. In her free time, Samantha enjoys spending quality time with her husband and two children. She loves to bake and can also be found helping her husband run his barbecue pop-up on the weekends.
