Acquisition reunites Drew with Lendesca CEO Chris Hurn, bringing together two of the SBA industry’s most well-known voices and innovators
Lendesca has acquired SBA Collective, the SBA LSP (Lender Service Provider) founded by industry veteran Ray Drew, who joins the company as Chief Revenue Officer. The move brings SBA Collective’s team and Drew’s decade-plus network of community and regional bank relationships into Lendesca — and reunites Drew with CEO Chris Hurn, for whom he got his start in SBA lending. As CRO, Drew will lead lender partnerships, referral channels, and business development, helping community and regional institutions launch and expand SBA and other government-guaranteed lending programs. Drew also hosts The Art of SBA Lending, one of the industry’s longest-running podcasts, which has produced two spinoff shows and two of the field’s most sought-after gatherings, the Director’s Retreat and the BDO Retreat.
