I think he was on the board of Wellesley until recently - seems to have jumped ship. A bit of a big name to be hopping between P2P platforms. I imagine lloyds paid him more in salary than all P2P company's annual profits combined ...  |

Does he walk on two legs or four? Chances are that the FC board want to learn to walk on two.

It'll all be about making the shop window look pretty ready for an IPO, word on the street is they are hoping for summer 2017 at earliest or as quickly as possible thereafter (or at least before it's evident the growth has slowed).
His "pay" will be all about the equity.
Kevin.
P.S. by nature I'm hugely cynical....

"Funding Circle was created with a big idea: To revolutionise the outdated banking system and secure a better deal for everyone."
The bankers want to get their snouts in another new trough. The p2p founders want to lose their snouts and to join the masters of the universe at the table. Meanwhile the lenders now have the margin (and the risk).

As the money men move in, the retail investors will be moved to their rightful place - picking up scraps from under the table.

Apologies for the typo (or probably fat fingers!)
