Fair4All Finance has appointed Kate Pender as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
Pender has been working with Fair4All Finance since the company was formed in 2019, leading work on growing the resilience and capability of community finance lenders.
Prior to her time at Fair4All Finance, Pender had twenty years of experience in economic development and support to accelerate the growth of small businesses.
After a short period of transition, Pender will be stepping up from her current role as Deputy CEO in September as our current CEO Sacha Romanovitch steps down.
Richard Collier-Keywood, Chair, Fair4All Finance said “I’m delighted to welcome Kate as our new CEO and look forward to working with her and the team as we continue our fight against financial exclusion.
“We had over 100 applications for the role and it’s a testament to the work of the team to see the calibre of people we were able to attract. Kate demonstrated a wealth of the qualities needed for this next phase of our work and the Board unanimously agreed to offer her the role.
“The Board would like to re-iterate our thanks to Sacha for her hard work and everything she has brought to Fair4All Finance and the wider sector. She has made an invaluable contribution to the organisation and huge difference in driving financial inclusion as a cause. We wish her well for the future.”
Sacha Romanovitch OBE said “Financial inclusion is an important cause and I’m delighted that Kate will be taking over the reins at Fair4All Finance. It’s great to have someone with such passion, energy and breadth of capability taking the us into the next phase.
“Leading this organisation and getting to work with so many incredible people across the landscape has been a real privilege. It gives me great heart that there are a wealth of people committed to making a difference to those that need it most and I look forward to playing my part in a different way as the future unfolds.”
