Teri Haynes, Vice President of Operations.

Teri Haynes brings nearly two decades of experience in commercial lending, with deep expertise in factoring and asset-based lending. Her journey through the financial industry has been shaped by grit, curiosity, and a rare ability to lead with both precision and compassion.

Teri began her career in 2004, stepping into the world of finance just as her previous industry—printing—was being transformed by digital disruption. She quickly found her stride in operations, progressing through every level of responsibility to eventually lead a team of nearly 100 employees across multiple roles and departments. Along the way, she developed a reputation for being a builder of systems and people—automating processes, mastering complex software, and mentoring teams with empathy and intention.

Now as Vice President of Operations at Quasar Capital, Teri is focused on helping the firm scale efficiently, sustainably, and with heart. She thrives on solving operational puzzles, turning manual systems into streamlined workflows, and creating the kind of behind-the-scenes structure that makes excellence visible on the client side.

What makes Teri exceptional isn't just her mastery of operations—it's her ability to lead with empathy. She has a gift for reading the room, and creating an environment where people feel seen and supported. Her values—respect, integrity, and continuous improvement—shine through in everything she does.

When she’s not driving operational efficiency, Teri is likely hiking, curled up with a good book, planning her next travel adventure, or enjoying a home-cooked meal with her family. Her proudest personal achievement is raising her sons to be kind and capable young men—and her professional mission is simple: help people and businesses reach their potential, the right way.
