Lima One Capital Appoints Josh Woodward as President and Chief Executive Officer
Lima One Capital, a leading nationwide lender for real estate investors, has named Josh Woodward as its new President and Chief Executive Officer.
Woodward joined Lima One in 2013 as one of the company’s first six employees. He has served as Chief Financial Officer, playing an integral role in building Lima One’s accounting, finance, capital markets, servicing, and special servicing teams, as well as in the development of its FixNFlip, New Construction, and Rental30 products. During his tenure, the company has grown to more than 300 employees and surpassed $2 billion per year in residential real estate investment loan originations.
“I have been fortunate to work with an incredible group of people over the last 11 years and I am very grateful for this opportunity to serve our special organization,” Woodward said. “Our loans have helped provide financing for over 30,000 houses and apartments across the country. We will continue to be one of the top business-purpose lenders in the nation by focusing on our core values, outstanding service for our customers, and operational excellence.”
Woodward has claimed industry honors as a Finance Leader in mortgage by HousingWire (2021) and as a Rising Star in real estate by HousingWire (2024), IMN’s SFR Industry Awards (2022), and Business Insider (2021). He was also named one of Greenville, S.C.’s best and brightest in 2016. Prior to joining Lima One, Woodward worked in Bank of America’s Enterprise Capital Management Group. He earned his MBA from the University of North Carolina’s Kenan-Flagler School of Business, specializing in Corporate Finance, and his B.S. from Clemson University.
Woodward replaces Jeff Tennyson, who retired in July as Lima One’s CEO. Over the last six years, Tennyson has led Lima One through significant growth, and he leaves Lima One with a very strong industry-leading position. Lima One wishes Jeff all the best in his future endeavors.
