CONGRATULATIONS to Mike Fazal who has been appointed CEO of Leasing.com, the deal comparison site.
Founder and former CEO Dave Timmis has decided to step down after 25 years leading the business; Fazal will lead the company into its next phase of growth and innovation.
Since founding the business in 2000, Dave Timmis has overseen the development of the UK’s first-ever leasing comparison site and helped drive the growth of the sector itself over the last two decades.
While stepping back from day-to-day operations, Dave will continue to provide strategic direction and long-term vision.
Mike steps up from his COO role saying he was delighted to lead such a talented team and continue to build on the legacy of Dave Timmis and to “deliver exceptional value to our users and partners”.
“With Mike’s leadership, Leasing.com is well-positioned to drive further innovation and success. I look forward to supporting the business in my new capacity as we continue to shape the future of car leasing.”
