Rapidly Growing Construction Fintech Company Builds Momentum with Key Appointments


Built Technologies has added several proven technology executives to its leadership ranks as part of an ambitious plan to reimagine the way that money moves throughout construction

NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 20, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Built, the leading provider of construction finance management software, services and payments announces the appointment of several members to its senior leadership team. On the heels of a successful start to the year in which the startup raised $88 million in Series C funding while recording its strongest quarterly growth to date, Built has named Bob Elliott to Chief Revenue Officer; Bill Parker to Chief Technology Officer; Nichole Wischoff to Vice President of the company’s Built for Construction vertical; Matt Marshall to Vice President of Client Services; and Stephanie Rolewicz to Director of Implementations and Lender Channel Partnerships.

The appointments are both strategic and timely for Built, whose platform has now been used to manage over $100 billion in construction spending since its launch in 2015. As the construction industry continues its rebound from a tumultuous year, Built has remained steadfast in its development of software that simplifies and automates the processes by which construction lenders, developers and contractors work together.

The addition of several proven executives, each with a track record of helping emerging technology companies scale rapidly, is intended to accelerate growth in its Sales, Product, and Customer Service. Built’s customers already include some of the most notable construction lenders and commercial and residential real estate developers in North America.
