Oakmont Capital Services Recognized with Empowering Women Award by Finance & Commerce
West Chester, PA and Albany, MN — July 29, 2026 — Oakmont Capital Services (OCS) is proud to announce that it has been selected as a recipient of Finance & Commerce's Empowering Women Award. The recognition reflects OCS's commitment to supporting the advancement of women and creating opportunities for professional growth, leadership development, and career success throughout the organization and the equipment finance industry.
The Empowering Women Award recognizes organizations across Minnesota that invest in women and create workplace cultures where they can grow, lead, and thrive professionally.
The recognition is particularly meaningful given OCS's longstanding presence in Minnesota, where the company has built a talented team and strong relationships throughout the equipment finance community.
With offices in both West Chester, Pennsylvania, and Albany, Minnesota, OCS has built a culture that supports professional development, leadership growth, and career advancement across the organization. The Minnesota team is comprised of many talented women who contribute to OCS's success every day. Female leaders based in Minnesota lead teams, drive strategic initiatives, represent OCS at industry events nationwide, and cultivate relationships with customers and partners across the country.
At OCS, women play a significant role, representing 66% of the workforce and holding 60% of leadership positions. Women also help drive strategic growth and innovation across credit, funding, operations, sales, human resources, marketing, and strategic partnerships.
Through professional development opportunities, including support for employees pursuing the Certified Lease & Finance Professional (CLFP) designation and attendance at industry conferences and leadership events nationwide, OCS helps women advance their careers. Female leaders also contribute to the broader equipment finance industry through active involvement with organizations such as the Equipment Leasing & Finance Association (ELFA), National Equipment Finance Association (NEFA), and the CLFP Foundation, serving on committees, boards, and in volunteer leadership and committee chair roles.
"We are honored to receive this recognition and proud of the opportunities we've created for women to grow, lead, and build meaningful careers at OCS," said Mikki Henkelman, SVP Credit & Risk of Oakmont Capital Services. "From professional development and mentorship opportunities to industry leadership involvement and internal advancement, we remain committed to helping our employees reach their full potential."
