eCapital, a tech-enabled specialty finance provider serving small and midsize businesses across North America and the United Kingdom, appointed Kash Ahmad as executive vice president, portfolio risk and governance, reporting to Tony Howard, chief credit and portfolio officer.
In this newly created executive role, Ahmad will lead corporate portfolio governance, provide leadership to portfolio teams across all business units and strengthen consistency, transparency and rigor in portfolio oversight and reporting. His mandate includes advancing eCapital’s portfolio risk framework, standardizing portfolio review processes and enhancing watchlist and delegated transaction authority oversight.
“eCapital’s strong growth and performance have increased the scale and complexity of our portfolio,” Howard said. “Formalizing this leadership role strengthens coordination and visibility across the organization. Kash’s leadership, deep institutional knowledge and multi-market experience make him ideally suited to assume this company-wide responsibility.”
Ahmad moves into this role from his most recent position as chief credit officer, factoring group at eCapital, where he oversaw credit and operational functions across the company’s North American factoring portfolio. He brings extensive international experience in portfolio management, credit and risk leadership, including prior executive roles at eCapital Commercial Finance and senior positions at Virgin Money, Bibby Financial Services, Lloyds Bank and Barclays.
“Having seen eCapital’s growth unfold in real time, these are exciting times for our business,” Ahmad said. “This role allows us to align portfolio oversight more closely across teams while maintaining the standards that have supported our success, positioning us for continued growth while remaining responsive to changing market conditions.”
