Swasey reports to founder and CEO Renaud Laplanche at Lending Club, the San Francisco-based peer-to-peer lending company founded by the French attorney and digital entrepreneur.
He previously led global corporate comms. for digital game developer Kabam and was VP of corporate comms. for NEtflix through a seven-year stint at that company. He came up through the agency ranks at Edelman and Ketchum before moving in-house with the E&J Gallo Winery and later PeopleSoft.
Lending Club went public in December 2014 but has seen its stock price struggle amid broader market woes over the past year.
Business leaders will face challenges in the upcoming year, some of which will come as a complete surprise, or beyond anyone's imagination.
