ezbob, the leading SME and Consumer lending provider hires industry veteran Marc Philippo to drive business growth. ezbob has developed an innovative, ‘Lending as a Service’ platform which is already supporting Esme Loans and Clydesdale Yorkshire Bank.
Marc brings over 20 years’ experience to the firm having led highly successful sales and marketing teams within some of the world’s premier financial technology businesses.
Marc has extensive sales experience across EMEA and has carved a reputation for establishing strong sales and delivery teams. Most recently he was head of Corporate, Retail Banking and Merchant Services for Northern Europe at Finastra.
Prior to this he formed the global mid-tier solutions group at payments provider Dovetail. Before this, Marc was Sales Director at Temenos where he also established the global Inside Sales team.
Tomer Guriel, founder and CEO of ezbob said, “It gives me great pleasure to welcome Marc to the rapidly expanding ezbob team. His sales leadership experience and in-depth knowledge of the global financial services sector are exactly what we need and will enable us to exploit the many new business opportunities that are coming our way. Marc’s joining, together with the recent equity investment, and the appointment of Lindsey McMurray to the ezbob board, means we are in the best position to make our vision of a one-stop-solution for financial institutions that offer lending capabilities to their customers a reality."
Marc continued, “I am extremely excited to be joining ezbob at this stage of its growth trajectory. Our lending platform is proven and already in use by two major players. ezbob is revolutionising the way SMEs can apply for finance, turning what was once an onerous and frustrating process into a 7 minute yes/no decision. This means that SMEs can now very quickly access much needed business finance to underpin their growth ambitions. ezbob is positively disrupting the lending sector that continues to struggle with the limitations of legacy and siloed systems. It is a true pleasure to be part of a dynamic company at the forefront of new wave technology."
