Matthew Dishman, President and CEO

What is his background?

Matt started on the retail side of the counter. He began as a wholesale manufacturer's representative and sales floor trainer for Ashley Furniture, teaching retail sales teams how to sell and how to present financing. He went on to work as a marketing specialist and then led sales for several consumer finance companies, including national sales leadership at American First Finance through its acquisition by FirstCash.

That path gives him both views of a financing program: the associate trying to close a sale, and the lender deciding which applications to fund. LendPro is built around the gap between those two views.

What has he done at LendPro?

Matt joined LendPro as President and CEO in June 2024. Since then the company has grown about 200%, launched LendPro 2.0 inside STORIS, and added partnerships including American Furniture Warehouse, the National AAMCO Dealers Association, a customized embedded financing program with a prime bank partner, SPLICE Software, 1stMILE and Tire Boost Group. See the newsroom for announcements.
