Lendscape Announces Leadership Transition as Kevin Day Steps Down as CEO
LONDON, 5 February 2025 - Lendscape, a global leader in secured finance technology, today announces a leadership transition as Kevin Day steps down as Chief Executive Officer. Kevin, who has been instrumental in shaping Lendscape into the global leader it is today, will remain with the company as an Executive Advisor and a member of the Board of Directors.
"Kevin has been at the heart of Lendscape's success for many years, guiding the company through significant growth and transformation," said Tony Davison Executive Chairman at Lendscape. "His contributions have ensured that Lendscape remains a trusted partner for some of the world's most prestigious banking and financial services providers. We are delighted he will continue to share his expertise in his new role as Executive Advisor."
During his eight years as CEO and over 40 years with Lendscape, Kevin has been instrumental in the company’s evolution and growth. His dedication to client success, R&D, and innovation have driven Lendscape's global expansion and solidified its position as a trusted technology partner. These efforts have been instrumental in shaping the company's success and reinforcing Lendscape’s reputation as a global market leader in secured finance.
"It has been an incredible journey, from starting as a junior programmer to leading the company as CEO," said Day. “Over the years, Lendscape has consistently provided best-in-class solutions, always focused on driving value and success to our clients. It’s been a privilege to work alongside such a talented team and I look forward to continuing my work with Lendscape in my new advisory role as the company moves into this next exciting phase."
As part of this transition, Martin Morrin, who has served as Chairman of the Lendscape Advisory Board since 2022, has been appointed interim CEO. He brings decades of experience in receivables finance and asset-based lending, including leadership roles at RBS/NatWest, Barclays, and Santander.
"Lendscape is a remarkable organisation with a strong foundation and an exciting future, and I am honoured to step into the role of Interim CEO," said Morrin. “I look forward to working with the team to continue delivering value and great service to our clients and driving innovation for the industries we serve."
In addition to these changes, Lendscape recently welcomed two key appointments to its executive team: Patrick Myles as Chief Technology Officer and Gareth Evans as Chief Revenue Officer. Both bring a wealth of experience and expertise, further strengthening Lendscape's dedication to providing the best technology solutions in the market and maintain its position as the technology partner of choice in the secured finance sector.
Davison concluded, “With Kevin's ongoing support as Executive Advisor, Martin's interim leadership, and the addition of Patrick and Gareth to our executive team, Lendscape is well-positioned to drive forward its vision of enabling smarter lending for our clients worldwide. We are confident in the future and are committed to finding the right leader to guide the next chapter of our journey."
