Served as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of OnDeck® (NYSE: ONDK), the nation’s leading online small business lender. OnDeck pioneered the use of data science and digital technology to make real-time lending decisions and deliver capital rapidly to small businesses online. Since making its first loan in 2007, OnDeck has provided nearly $14 billion in financing to over 100,000 small businesses in the United States, Canada and Australia. After being named CEO in 2012, I led OnDeck through hypergrowth ($25M to $250M in revenue in three years) and an IPO on the NYSE in late 2014. OnDeck became profitable in 2017, and 2019, OnDeck posted revenue of $445 million, net income of $28 million, and employed over 700 people. After 13 straight years of revenue growth, in 2020, COVID impacted OnDeck's business, and I led a strategic process which resulted in OnDeck's acquisition by Enova International (NYSE: ENVA), a leading online consumer lender. From October 2020 until April 2021, I served as the Vice Chairman of Enova, and OnDeck's business and brand will continue on as part of Enova going forward. As Vice Chairman, I oversaw a process to spin out OnDeck's ODX business and merge it with Fundation to form Linear Financial Technologies, which is now a standalone company providing digital account origination technology to financial institutions. OnDeck won numerous awards for our performance and our culture over the years, including being named to Forbes’ 100 Most Promising Companies in America (#11), BuiltIn Best Places to Work in NYC and Denver multiple times, and Selling Power's 50 Best Companies to Sell For - 8 years in a row!
