We are excited to share that we are not only expanding our core team with a new COO (read more here), we are also bringing fresh energy into our Board of Directors. We are happy to welcome back Paul Howorth to LendForGood as a Board Director, providing guidance and direction at this important stage of growth.
Paul has been a long-time supporter of our mission, supporting LendForGood in a variety of capacities over the years and brings a wealth of experience across impact, governance and strategic growth. His return to the Board comes at a pivotal time as we scale our platform, deepen our partnerships, and work to increase the flow of capital to purpose-driven businesses.

So let us reintroduce you to our new Board Director Paul Howorth…
Paul work’s at the intersections of international trade, impact investing, and regional development to shift how economic systems serve people, SMEs, and places. He combines a Masters in International Law and an Honours degree in Planning and Design, thinking in terms of both rules and real places. He focuses on services trade, cross-border regulation, professional mobility, and digital credentialing across the Asia–Pacific. He designs blended finance and impact investing vehicles targeting gender, climate, and community outcomes. Grounded in Eastern wisdom traditions, I prioritise interdependence, regeneration, and resilient, equitable futures. He loves travel, songwriting, meditation, and adventures with his family.
When we asked Paul why he’s decided to join LendForGood he said:
I’m looking forward to rejoining the LFG Board at a point where there is the opportunity to help to generate some acceleration and momentum to realise the platform’s true potential. As the Red Hat Impact representative on the board, I’m keen to ensure that the commercial value of the platform is realised while also realising the original vision for the platform.
Bringing Paul on board is a great way to progress the first quarter of 2026. With ambitious goals set for LendForGood this year, we’re confident that strengthening our business governance will enable us to achieve meaningful progress together.
Welcome aboard again Paul; here’s to a productive, impactful, and successful year ahead!
