LoanPro bolsters executive team with industry veteran general counsel
SALT LAKE CITY–(BUSINESS WIRE)–LoanPro, the API-first, modern lending and credit platform, announced today that Chris Trujillo has joined their executive team as General Counsel, to continue to support the strong growth that the company is experiencing.
Chris brings over twenty years of legal experience in the fintech industry, most notably at Galileo Financial Technologies. During his time with Galileo, he prepared the company for and helped manage their $1.2B acquisition by SoFi in May of 2020. In addition to his tenure at Galileo, he has also worked with Dorsey and Whitney LLP, an international law firm based out of Minneapolis, focusing his practice on M&A, venture capital and emerging growth companies. This legal expertise and deep understanding of the fintech landscape makes him uniquely positioned to grow and oversee LoanPro’s legal department and assist LoanPro to sustain and increase its market leading presence.
In 2024, the fintech ecosystem is developing rapidly, with many startups maturing into fully-fledged enterprise solutions, and traditional financial institutions making strides in technological development, either securing their positions with strategic acquisitions or through developing their own tech-forward programs. At the same time that many credit providers are enhancing their operations and strategically investing in technological improvements, there is also a renewed focus on partnerships, mergers, and acquisitions, ultimately culminating in sustained and rapid growth for the creditors and services that can meet the scale and scope of the market.
Joining LoanPro at this opportune time, Chris plans to leverage his depth of experience to strengthen LoanPro’s collaboration with major financial institutions and fintechs. His background working with large banks and fintechs will prove instrumental as he collaborates with LoanPro’s own enterprise clients and partners, including their recently announced integration with Visa DPS.
LoanPro’s Co-Founder and CEO, Rhett Roberts, explained further how Chris will strengthen the company’s overall position. “Here at LoanPro, we’ve not only seen expansion in the number of clients and total revenue, but also increased momentum to partner and collaborate with industry leaders. To strengthen LoanPro as we pursue increased collaboration and partnerships, we’re excited for Chris Trujillo to join us as he uses his experience to aid in LoanPro’s growth as the premier credit platform.”
“I’ve admired LoanPro for many years now,” Chris Trujillo stated. “Rhett and the team have built not just a fantastic platform, but a truly exceptional company. Looking at their history, clients, and growth, they remind me of Galileo, and I believe they’ll have a similarly successful trajectory looking forward. I’m excited to contribute my experience as we move forward, helping LoanPro as we empower our clients to innovate and grow.”
