Louis founded Loanpad in 2015, shaping the company and steering it through the stringent FCA authorisation process. He’s a qualified and highly experienced lawyer specialising in real estate finance.

Louis founded HCLS (law firm) in 2009 and iBridge (lending business) in 2013.

Louis decided to create Loanpad as a new model of peer-to-peer lending that’s safer, simpler and more flexible for investors.

Neil joined Loanpad from Duff & Phelps in early 2018, shortly prior to FCA authorisation being granted. He has known Louis for over 10 years and was involved with the business at a much earlier stage.

As a Chartered Accountant (FCA), he held senior positions at both BDO LLP and Duff & Phelps and advised businesses from startups to multinationals on finance, strategy, operations and compliance. At Loanpad, his role is ensuring our end-to-end operations are robust and efficient with a specific focus on our regulatory compliance and financial management.

Marc joined Loanpad in January 2018 having followed its progress during its FCA authorisation process. He began his career in 2000 as an equities trader for Goldenberg Hehmeyer & Co and in 2004 decided to become a private investment manager on behalf of high net worth individuals.

Marc also has a passion for internet startups and over the last ten years has split his time between investment management and helping to develop various companies, directing strategy, marketing, sales and customer experience management. Marc holds an LLB in Law and is Eurex qualified.

Jacob has been in the creative sector for over 15 years. He sleeps and breathes creative design and branding. Before joining Loanpad, Jacob ran a digital agency in the center of London.
