Five minutes with: Erin Stewart, VP of HR at LendInvest

Erin Stewart, VP of HR at LendInvest, compares the HR differences between the UK, Tokyo and Singapore.  

What attracted you to LendInvest? 

The first thing that caught my eye was the role itself. Becoming VP of HR in a company that is growing as fast as LendInvest was a hugely attractive proposition. The role has a very wide remit and the fact that I’m first to hold it here meant that I have the opportunity to build it from scratch and define what it aims to achieve.

During my own recruitment process, I was impressed by the passion I felt and the people I met at LendInvest. There’s a clear understanding of what LendInvest is all about and what it aims to do, that is shared by everyone who works here. Fintech is a rapidly growing area and I saw this as an opportunity to help a leader in the UK fintech space evolve and mature without risk of becoming ‘just another’ financial services or tech company.
