ThinCats appoints new CFO as part of ongoing growth strategy

We are delighted to announce the appointment of Dan Hartley as Chief Financial Officer. Dan has over a decade of experience in senior financial roles and joins from the Lowell Group, one of the largest credit management companies in Europe, where he was most recently Chief Investment Officer.

Prior to joining the Lowell Group, Dan worked for FTSE-listed company, Arrow Global Group Plc, a leading European credit management service provider where he was Group Treasurer. His experience covers financial control, budget management, treasury, tax, investor relations and reporting, and risk and investment management.

The announcement follows recent senior hires across ThinCats’ business development and transaction management teams as ThinCats responds to continuing strong demand for funding from mid-sized UK businesses. Dan will have a crossover period with current CFO, Rajeev Raichura, who has decided to leave ThinCats to spend more time with his young family and pursue his own business venture but has kindly agreed to stay on until the end of the year to support the transition.

Dan is set to play a vital strategic and operational role as ThinCats continues to scale. His previous experience in private credit is well matched to our mission of helping many more mid-sized SMEs access the funding they need to thriveAmany Attia, CEO, ThinCats

“I would also like to thank our departing CFO, Rajeev Raichura, for his tremendous contribution to ThinCats and wish him all the very best for the future.”

Dan Hartley, CFO, ThinCats: “I am delighted to be joining ThinCats at such an exciting time in its development. Alternative lenders continue to grow their share of the funding market and ThinCats has made great progress over the last few years with ambitious plans for future growth. I am excited to be playing a part in delivering more funding to UK entrepreneurs.”
