A statement from the Chief Executive Officer

It is with profound sadness that we share the news that Angelie Panteli, our Chief Financial Officer, Board Director and much respected colleague and friend, passed away on Monday 30 November 2020. 

Angelie was a well known figure in the Fintech world. Working in senior positions for a number of high growth technology businesses throughout her career, Angelie was widely recognised for her key roles in their journey from start-up to scale-up. 

Angelie’s achievements throughout her career are inspirational. Her work ethic, indefatigable energy and passion, specifically for the furthering of women’s initiatives, made her contribution to the sector so important. 

During Angelie’s time at LendInvest, she made it a personal mission to empower the women she worked with to take on more senior roles and build confidence in their ability throughout their careers. 

Angelie mentored women across the industry over many years, using her extensive experience to offer her unique insight and guidance. Forever giving of her time and always keen to champion gender diversity on a public level, Angelie was a regular speaker at events on career development for women and attended local schools and community events to speak to young girls about their future careers. 

Angelie spent three years at LendInvest, and made a significant impact on the business. The many milestones that LendInvest has enjoyed under her tenure as CFO would not have been possible without her leadership and unrivalled work ethic. 

Angelie’s vision, combined with her extensive experience, meticulous attention to detail and fierce team spirit was a key ingredient to LendInvest’s success over the past couple of years, and we will forever be thankful for the contribution she made. Angelie was very much a part of the fabric of our company, and a colleague and friend, which makes her loss so painful for many.

This is a time of immense grief for anyone who had the privilege of knowing Angelie. All of our thoughts are with Angelie’s family and friends at this very difficult time.
