LendUp Hires First Chief Financial Officer

LendUp, a socially responsible financial technology company, today announced that Bill Donnelly, former vice president of global financial services for Tesla, has joined as its first chief financial officer.

Donnelly is a 30-year consumer credit professional with extensive experience in credit cards and loans products. He spent the last four years with Tesla as VP of global financial services. He also served as president of Tesla’s captive finance company, Tesla Finance LLC. Donnelly previously spent a decade with BMW as CFO and then president of its industrial bank. In addition to more than 15 years with the credit card, installment loan, and automotive finance divisions of JPMorgan Chase, he was also president and CEO of retail card issuer First Electronic Bank.

“We couldn’t be more excited to have an executive of Bill’s caliber join our quickly expanding team,” said Sasha Orloff, co-founder and CEO of LendUp. “Tesla is one of the most innovative companies in the world, and it has completely disrupted the sleepy auto industry. Bill’s experience leading complex global financing programs and building first-of-their-kind, mobile-first platforms will be invaluable to us as we continue to build out our product ecosystem and be on the forefront of serving more Americans in need of better financial services options.”
