Splitit, a global installment payment provider, today announces
non-executive board director, Dawn Robertson, will assume the role
of non-executive Chairman of the Board. The company has also
appointed two new non-executive external directors, Vanessa
LeFebvre and Scott Mahoney. This comes on the heels of the
company’s announcement of record earnings and new merchants as the
company continues to expand on its position as the “go-to”
installment solution for responsible cash flow management.
“For the past two years, Dawn has been an invaluable member of
our Executive Board, bringing a wealth of experience in ecommerce
on a global scale,” said Brad Paterson, CEO of Splitit. “I’m also
pleased with the Board’s appointment of Vanessa and Scott, who will
bring their strong knowledge of the US retail landscape to the
Board as we continue to expand our reach in North America.”
Dawn Robertson is the current CEO of On Campus Marketing and has
been leading companies for more than 30 years. She’s held
leadership positions at Old Navy, Myer Stores and launched
Macys.com and Bloomingdales.com. Robertson has served on Splitit’s
board of directors for two years. She will be replacing Spirro
Pappas, who is stepping down as Chairman to pursue new endeavors
after successfully leading the board for two years through the
company’s global expansion.
Based in Portland, Oreg., Vanessa LeFebvre brings 20 years of
retail industry experience to the Board. She is currently Senior
Vice President, Commercial for Adidas in North America where she is
responsible for its wholesale, retail stores and eCommerce
channels. Prior to that she held high profile roles at TJX, Macy’s
and Stitch Fix.
Based in New York, Scott Mahoney has 20 years of investment
experience across asset classes in executive leadership roles at
global alternative asset management firms. He is currently an
Executive Council Member for alternative investment advisory firm,
Aviditi Advisors and a Partner with the FinTech venture capital
firm, Tribeca Early Stage Partners. Scott was previously Deputy
Chief Trading Officer at Millennium Management and a Managing
Director of Alternative Investments at Credit Suisse Asset
Management.
“The addition of Vanessa and Scott as Board members comes at an
inflection point for Splitit, both in terms of our rate of growth
but also our capacity to execute on ambitious strategic plans,”
said Dawn Robertson. “Vanessa’s knowledge and experience in North
American retail will build on our industry expertise and further
broaden awareness of our offering among large merchants, while as a
seasoned investment professional Scott will play an important role
in informing our capital markets strategy. I am delighted to
welcome them both to the Splitit Board.”
The Company intends to call a shareholder meeting to approve the
appointment of Vanessa LeFebvre and Scott Mahoney as External
Directors in accordance with Israeli law. Once appointed, the Board
will comprise five Non-executive Directors, being Dawn Robertson,
Thierry Denis, Jan Koelble, Vanessa LeFebvre and Scott Mahoney, and
Chief Executive Officer, Brad Paterson.
