Evolution Funding has appointed Mat Hanson as Group Chief Financial Officer (CFO), a newly created position that will play a pivotal role in driving the company’s long-term value creation plan. Hanson\u2019s appointment is part of Evolution Funding’s strategic efforts to enhance its capacity at the Group level and support its growth objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hanson will oversee key aspects of Evolution\u2019s transformation and strategy, including mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and potential international expansion. He will also oversee key stakeholder and shareholder relationships, including those with investors Carlyle and LDC, as well as banking and debt funding partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With over 17 years of experience in financial leadership, Hanson brings CFO expertise in technology-driven and private equity-backed businesses. His prior achievements include leading six strategic international acquisitions and a significant private equity sale at Cawood Scientific, as well as driving financial growth and refinancing at Travel Counsellors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hanson said: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI am delighted to join Evolution Funding. The company\u2019s culture, strong values, and impressive track record were key factors in my decision. With Carlyle\u2019s backing and a solid foundation in place, I am confident in the company\u2019s future prospects and look forward to contributing to its continued success.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Lee Streets, chief executive officer, said: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
