President-elect Donald Trump announced former World Wrestling Entertainment executive Linda McMahon as his choice for the cabinet-level post of head of the SBA.
McMahon had met privately with Mr. Trump last week at Trump Tower where Mr. Trump has been running his transition operation. McMahon's nomination displays President-elect Trump's penchant for reaching outside traditional political, government and business circles in enlisting advisors and administrators for his presidency.
McMahon is the co-founder of World Wrestling Entertainment Inc., known for such colorful personalities as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Hulk Hogan, and a former unsuccessful Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in Connecticut. Trump made occasional appearances on WWE programs over the years.
In a statement, Trump said: “Linda has a tremendous background and is widely recognized as one of the country’s top female executives advising businesses around the globe. She helped grow WWE from a modest 13-person operation to a publicly traded global enterprise with more than 800 employees in offices worldwide."
“Linda is going to be a phenomenal leader and champion for small businesses and unleash America’s entrepreneurial spirit all across the country.”
McMahon provided $6 million to a super PAC backing Trump. That made her one of the top supporters of Trump’s presidential bid. She had previously supported Trump's nomination adversary Chris Christie.
“I am honored to join the incredibly impressive economic team that President-elect Trump has assembled to ensure that we promote our country’s small businesses and help them grow and thrive,” Ms. McMahon said.
If confirmed by the Senate, Ms. McMahon would succeed Maria Contreras-Sweet as SBA administrator. Contreras-Sweet has held the post since April 2014.

Client personally guaranteed SBA 7(a) loan for $350,000. The small business failed but because of the personal guarantee liability, the client continued to pay the monthly principal & interest out-of-pocket draining his savings. The client hired a local attorney but quickly realized that he was not familiar with SBA-backed loans or their standard operating procedures. Our firm was subsequently hired after the client received the SBA's official 60-day notice. After back-and-forth negotiations, we were able to convince the SBA to reinstate the loan, retract the acceleration of the outstanding balance, modify the original terms, and approve a structured workout reducing the interest rate from 7.75% to 0% and extending the maturity date for a longer period to make the monthly payments affordable. In conclusion, not only we were able to help the client avoid litigation and bankruptcy, but our SBA lawyers also saved him approximately $227,945 over the term of the workout.
Our firm successfully negotiated an SBA offer in compromise (SBA OIC), settling a $974,535.93 SBA loan balance for just $18,000. The offerors, personal guarantors on an SBA 7(a) loan, originally obtained financing to purchase a commercial building in Lancaster, California.
The borrower filed for bankruptcy, and the third-party lender (TPL) foreclosed on the property. Despite the loan default, the SBA pursued the offerors for repayment. Given their limited income, lack of significant assets, and approaching retirement, we presented a strong case demonstrating their financial hardship.
Through strategic negotiations, we secured a favorable SBA settlement, reducing the nearly $1 million debt to a fraction of the amount owed. This outcome allowed the offerors to resolve their liability without prolonged financial strain.
Clients personally guaranteed an SBA 504 loan balance of $337,000. The Third Party Lender had obtained a Judgment against the clients. We represented clients before the SBA and negotiated an SBA OIC that was accepted for $30,000.
