February 21, 2024 – Palo Alto, California: Trust Science, a loan applicant sourcing, screening and decisioning platform, today announced the addition of Matt Browning as Trust Science’s new President.
Mr. Browning was recently the Chief Operating Officer at Snap! Finance, a global top-3 lender providing retailers with a secondary finance option to reach the 40% of consumers who don’t qualify for traditional credit. Matt’s executive leadership of Snap! was pivotal, growing the company from its very early startup stage to over 1,000 employees across 6 countries, and achieving 10-figure revenue, 9-figure EBITDA and $2 Billion in equity value. Matt conceived and built all manner of products, functions and teams in support of serving millions of customers and their financial needs.
Matt says “I am very excited to join Trust Science. Evan and the team have developed a powerful platform that is demonstrating its distinctive capabilities in financial services and supporting many thousands of consumers who are often excluded by the use of legacy data and tools.”
In joining Trust Science, Mr. Browning will help lead Trust Science through its accelerating growth, and he brings industry knowledge to support rapid innovation and banking-grade commercialization.
According to Evan Chrapko, Trust Science’s Founder, Chairman & CEO, “We had to compete for Matt against a tsunami of VCs and PE firms that were clamoring to hire him to lead their portfolio companies. All Trust Scientists, our lender customers, and our software & data partners now have an extremely capable President who can turbocharge our Go-To-Market. Matt is committed to our mission of ensuring that hundreds of millions of deserving individual consumers around the world get the money they deserve.”
Mr. Browning comes to Trust Science with over two decades of experience in senior executive roles for a myriad of companies ranging from early-stage startups to Fortune 100 companies.
