He is a results driven, commercial banking executive with over 10+ years of experience in government guaranteed financing solutions helping businesses thrive, grow & expand.

He excels at developing and executing lending strategies vital to helping businesses increase cash flow to grow and expand their business.

What I do:

Thomas’s focus is to help business owners participate in the government loan programs for which they are eligible. There are programs and/or incentives for veteran-owned, women-owned and minority-owned businesses. Additionally, there are programs for companies that export goods to foreign countries, for companies that manufacture in the US and for companies that are implementing green environmentally friendly strategies for their business to reduce energy consumption or produce renewable energy. Taking advantage of these programs helps businesses hold onto more of their cash and in some cases get extended repayment terms compared to non-government guaranteed loans.

The types of financing transactions that Thomas does helps business owners:

Acquire a business

Start a new business or franchise business

Buyout a partner of an existing business

Federico “Fred” Castellucci/Castellucci Hospitality Group

President

11885161_1622313944695266_6855702729144203255_nA graduate of the Hospitality School at Cornell University, Federico Castellucci has worked in the restaurant business his entire life. During his tenure at Cornell, Federico helped create and develop the original Sugo in Roswell. He grew the concept to four locations including three franchises. After graduating in 2007, Federico took over a failed franchise location that is currently Sugo in Johns Creek, Ga. Federico worked tirelessly to re-establish the brand, and within a year and a half the restaurant had become the most successful restaurant his family had ever owned in Georgia.

Building on that success, Federico created a new restaurant concept from scratch in downtown Decatur called The Iberian Pig. A modern Spanish restaurant with a strong focus on imported Spanish cured meats, fresh local produce, creative tapas dishes, wines of the region and classic cocktails, The Iberian Pig has been a hit from opening night in late 2009.

Following the success of The Iberian Pig, Federico embarked on two more projects in 2011 and 2014. Located on Roswell Road near I-285, Double Zero Napoletana opened in May 2011, bringing the regional cuisine of Campania in Southern Italy to Sandy Springs, Ga. The menu features handmade pasta, traditional Neapolitan pizza, handmade pastries and gelato, as well as contemporary takes on classic Southern Italian dishes. In November 2014, Federico opened Cooks & Soldiers, a Basque-inspired concept located in West Midtown, featuring traditional pintxos, raciones, asador and desserts influenced by the signature cooking methods of the region.

Federico currently serves as president of Castellucci Hospitality Group, the management company that he created in 2010, which includes Sugo, The Iberian Pig, Double Zero Napoletana and Cooks & Soldiers.
