“LendingClub has the best of both worlds – a bank and a fintech – and it’s creating an incredibly powerful digital marketplace bank that prioritizes the customer,” said Faiz Ahmad. “That is rare within financial services and it’s what intrigued me about the company. I’m excited to apply my expertise with large consumer brands to advise LendingClub as it finds even more ways to generate unique lifetime value for its members.”

She will serve on the Board’s Audit Committee, Credit Risk and Finance Committee and Operational Risk Committee.
“I was drawn to LendingClub as an institution not only driven by meeting the needs of its customers but also its commitment to innovating across every aspect of its business, including its control structure, to compete with both banks and fintechs at scale,” said Kathryn Reimann. “I am excited to be able to apply my experience in service of their vision of a new era in responsible banking.”
