“Javelin has built its reputation around objective and independent data, analysis and insights,” The company’s SVP of Research and Head of Fraud & Security Al Pascual said. “Austin’s breadth of knowledge and unique perspective on the intersection of lending, automation and innovation will enable clients to better navigate the nuances of these highly complex industries.”
As head of digital lending practices, Kilgore is responsible for advising the company’s clients on emerging technologies and strategies for underwriting and portfolio management decisions for the auto, mortgage, personal and student loan industries.
