BFS Capital (“BFS”), a leading technology-enabled small business financing platform, announced today that it has appointed Ken Murray as its chief marketing officer.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Ken aboard to lead our marketing efforts,” said Marc Glazer, CEO and co-founder of BFS. “Ken’s vast knowledge of the entire marketing landscape, digital marketing, customer experience and other strategic skillsets will play an integral role in our next phase of growth.
