Beyond the ordinary
Institutional Pedigree. Independent Execution.
Aquilo Credit was built to solve a specific structural inefficiency in commercial banking: the gap between a growing bank's need for high-yield commercial assets and the immense fixed cost of building the internal credit architecture required to safely manage them.
We act as an elite, off-balance-sheet advisory affiliate, allowing regional banks, private wealth institutions, and specialty finance platforms to execute highly complex credit transactions on a purely variable-cost basis.
Paul J. Dell'Aquilo, Principal & Founder Aquilo Credit is led by Paul J. Dell'Aquilo, a senior credit executive with over 25 years of experience structuring, originating, and managing complex commercial debt.
Trained through the Citibank Global Corporate Investment Bank Management Associates Program, Paul has spent his career building and managing specialty finance and middle-market lending divisions at top-tier institutions. His background includes managing a $250MM consumer lender finance portfolio as Executive Director at Texas Capital Bank, as well as senior roles navigating complex commercial integrations at Capital One.
By bridging large-bank credit discipline with boutique-bank agility, Aquilo Credit provides Chief Banking Officers and Chief Credit Officers with the exact operational horsepower they need to scale commercial yield safely and efficiently.
