News from the Financial Women of San Francisco:

The Financial Women of San Francisco (FWSF) has selected Orinda resident Carrie Dolan, Chief Financial Officer of Lending Club, as the 2015 Financial Woman of the Year. This award recognizes Dolan for her outstanding leadership and achievement in her various finance roles.

Carrie joined Lending Club as its first CFO in 2010. Over the last five years, she has helped build the company into the world’s largest online marketplace connecting borrowers and investors.

During her tenure, operating revenue increased from $2M in 3Q 2010 to $81M in 1Q 2015, while employees increased from 40 to more than 975 over the same period. Last year, she managed Lending Club’s IPO, one of the top ten U.S. based internet IPOs of all time.

“I’m honored to be recognized by the FWSF and excited to participate in the FWSF’s signature Financial Woman of the Year event,” said Dolan. “For two decades, this organization has provided a forum for women to inspire and mentor each other, and I’m thrilled to be in a position to help support this year’s scholarship program.”

Prior to Lending Club, she was the Treasurer for The Charles Schwab Corporation. Carrie also served as the CFO for Schwab Bank, a bank she helped launch in 2003.

Before Schwab, she held a variety of financial positions at Chevron. Carrie has a BS in Finance and Accounting and a MBA degree from the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley. She has been a member of FWSF since February 2010.

“We are thrilled to have Carrie represent our organization as Financial Woman of the Year,” said Tracy Teale, president of FWSF. “Carrie is both extremely accomplished in her own career and enormously committed to a future with more women in financial fields. Her efforts to inspire young women to pursue their education and dreams are in line with our organization’s goals. She’s an outstanding role model for our scholarship recipients and the entire FWSF community.”

2015 marks the 20th year that the Financial Women of San Francisco organization honors a female senior executive who demonstrates remarkable commitment to her profession, service to her community and support for the advancement of women. Carrie Dolan’s selection as the 2015 award recipient will be formally announced at the annual Scholarship Luncheon honoring the recipients of the FWSF’s 2015 scholarship awards on June 4 at the City Club in San Francisco.

Carrie will address the audience as part of the award presentation at The Financial Woman of the Year Luncheon on Sept. 30 at the St Francis Hotel in San Francisco.
