Chris Trujillo, longtime General Counsel for Galileo, has joined
LoanPro’s executive team supporting the company as it matures and
expands its customer base.
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.”
