Elevate Names Chief Credit Officer, Boosts San Diego Offices

Online lending provider Elevate, which has its research and analytics center in San Diego, has named the former Chief Credit Officer of PayPal to the position at the company, based in San Diego. According to Elevate, which had an IPO in April of 2017, it has named Brian Biglin as Chief Credit Officer, to lead the company's technology and proprietary risk team. Biglin was most recently CEO of Pacific Credit Group, and also served as Chief Risk Officer at loanDepot.com and at Intuit. Prior to that, Biglin was Chief Credit Officer at Bill Me Later when it was acquired in 2008 by PayPal, and he served there until 2014 as Chief Credit Officer. Elevate says its "center of excellence" in San Diego--which also has operations at the company's four other offices in the US and UK--includes more than 35 data scientists, and works on risk analytics and machine learning.
