Lendistry, a financial technology company that provides lending products and powers grant programs for small businesses, added Todd Hollander as chief lending and revenue officer. In his new role, Hollander will be leading the company’s sales and credit practices..
“Todd is the perfect fit for Lendistry’s customer-focused model. I brought him onto the team because it’s important that we grow responsibly for the communities we serve,” Everett K. Sands, CEO of Lendistry, said. “Lendistry has become not just a lender, but a resource for less experienced borrowers and for business owners who have been underestimated in the lending industry. Todd’s expertise will help make Lendistry a strong partner that can meet their financing needs for the entire business lifecycle.”
Prior to joining Lendistry, Hollander served as head of business banking, small business and SBA at MUFG Union Bank, where he also served as a member of MUFG Union Bank’s executive management committee.
Hollander held previous leadership roles at Wells Fargo, U.S. Bank, California and Pacific National Bank and Citizens Business Bank. His experience includes leading enterprise-wide commercial banking and business development while maintaining internal and external audits and credit matrices.
“For a financial institution to become the pillar of its industry, its leaders must take a long-term, holistic view when it comes to its sales team and its credit processes,” Hollander said. “The most important thing a business needs to do is keep its promises to its stakeholders, its customers, and its employees. That’s why scale is key to success. I’m already proud to be a member of the Lendistry team.”
