TAB appoints Stephen Wasserman as COO

TAB has appointed Stephen Wasserman as its chief operating officer.

Stephen Wasserman has been a director of TAB since October 2022, and will now take more of an active role in the day-to-day operations of the company.

Prior to joining TAB, Wasserman co-founded West One Loans and served as its managing director for 14 years, overseeing more than £3 billion in lending and managing all operations and credit risk.

He also founded the National Housing Group, where he spearheaded efforts to acquire and develop high-quality social housing. Stephen Wasserman is a long-term business partner of TAB founder Duncan Kreeger, and the pair have collaborated on numerous ventures over the last 20 years.

Wasserman’s appointment follows that of Samuel Leach, who joined the company last month as head of investor relations.

Duncan Kreeger, CEO and founder of TAB, commented: “Stephen’s extensive experience and deep understanding of our operations make him exceptionally well-suited for this role. We are confident that he will continue to drive our strategic initiatives forward and contribute significantly to TAB’s ongoing success. His expertise will be invaluable in supporting our consolidation and growth to provide the best possible outcomes for our borrowers and investors.”

Stephen Wasserman added: "I am thrilled to join TAB at such a pivotal time in its growth trajectory.

"I have watched TAB’s growth with great admiration and I am excited to be more involved with the day-to-day runnings of the operation. Duncan has built TAB with a strong foundation and a clear vision for the future. I am confident that we will continue to innovate and lead in the property finance market, driving significant value for our clients and investors."
