LTi Technology Solutions announced that Matt Konopa has joined the company as Chief Product & Technology Officer (CPTO). In this newly created role, Konopa will lead LTi’s product management, engineering, and technology organizations, guiding the strategy and roadmap for the company’s flagship ASPIRE platform.
Konopa’s appointment follows LTi’s acquisition by Diversis Capital earlier this year and marks a key step in the company’s plan to accelerate innovation, deepen platform interoperability, and deliver greater value to equipment finance companies, captives, independents and banks across the U.S., UK, and Canada.
Konopa brings more than two decades of experience building and scaling technology products in financial services. He joins LTi from FIS, where he served as Vice President, Product Management. Before FIS, he was Product Lead for Card Payments at Google, supporting checkout and payments experiences across Google’s consumer products.
“Matt is exactly the kind of leader we want guiding ASPIRE into its next chapter,” said Jeff Van Slyke, President and CEO of LTi Technology Solutions. “He has led the build out of mission critical products at some of the most respected names in technology and financial services and therefore knows how to turn complex workflows into experiences customers are delighted by.
Bringing product and technology together under his leadership will allow us to expedite the pace of innovation while delivering significant value to our customers and the equipment finance industry as a whole.”
“For more than three decades, LTi has earned the trust of the equipment finance industry and ASPIRE gives us a powerful foundation to build on,” said Konopa. “Now we’re working to accelerate. Together with our customers and our talented team, we’ll evolve ASPIRE into an open, API-first platform, unlock real-time data across the customer lifecycle, and embed intelligent automation and AI where it drives the most value. The goal is simple: give our clients the technology to scale faster and make smarter decisions.
