Molo Finance appoints new CEO

Molo Finance has appointed Matthew Kimber as its new chief executive officer, succeeding co-founder Francesca Carlesi who stepped down as CEO following the integration of the company within the ColCap Group.

Matthew, who joined Molo in November 2023 as chief operating officer, brings over 20 years of experience in banking and finance to the role.

Matthew's most recent role was as managing director of CHL Mortgages for Intermediaries, where he led the business back into lending in 2021. Prior to that, he served as chief operating officer at CHL Mortgages and Landmark Mortgages and has held several key positions including leading the lending function at Castle Trust.

Andrew Chepul, chairman of Molo, commented: “We sought a CEO who not only understands the intricacies of our industry but also embodies innovation and determination. The calibre of candidates in the recruitment process was impressive, and Matthew stood out amongst them. We believe his leadership will drive Molo in its next phase of growth, and maximise the company’s full potential.”

Matthew Kimber said: “Taking on the role as Molo’s CEO, at such a pivotal time, is a tremendous honour. The mortgage landscape is evolving rapidly, and Molo is at the forefront of that transformation. I am eager to lead the Molo team in delivering excellent mortgage products for our customers, pushing boundaries, and solidifying Molo's position as a pioneer in the industry.”
