Just read that EQB's CEO Andrew Moor passed away unexpectedly. Pretty shocking news for the fintech space. So Marlene Lenarduzzi, who was the Chief Risk Officer, is stepping in as interim CEO while they search for a permanent replacement. Apparently they've been working on succession planning for the last couple years with some global recruitment firm, so at least there's already a process in motion. Marlene Lenarduzzi taking the helm temporarily makes sense given her risk management background - that's actually pretty critical for a financial company anyway. Stock was up slightly on the news, trading around $95 last I checked. These leadership transitions can go either way, but sounds like EQB had the foresight to prepare for this kind of scenario. Curious to see who they end up bringing in as the next permanent CEO.
