The brightest and best young professionals in the asset finance industry have been revealed in the 2022 30 Under 30 index from the Leasing Foundation, with the winners announced at the Asset Finance Connect UK Conference on December 5th.

The 30 Under 30 listing is published annually to celebrate the most influential and highest achieving individuals in the asset finance industry.

This year’s recipients represent 29 different lenders or service providers who together are investing in the future leaders of the industry.

As sponsors of the 30 Under 30 Index in 2022, Acquis' Chief Commercial Officer James Rudolf noted that, “Acquis Data Services is delighted to sponsor The Leasing Foundation 30 under 30. Support for and recognition of the next generation of talent in our industry is vital. The speed of change is increasing and challenges are evolving, which presents new opportunities that the next generation of leaders will have to navigate through. It is so encouraging to see the breadth and depth of talent in our industry, and that lenders and service providers recognise the critical part our upcoming leaders will play in our collective future.”

The Leasing Foundation, founded in 2012, is a not-for-profit organisation that focuses on innovation, young people, diversity, and inclusion.

Nathan Mollett, chair of the Leasing Foundation commented: “The Leasing Foundation 30 under 30 recognises and celebrates the next generation of talent in the asset finance industry. We took time to review countless number of nominations and judged them on their accomplishments, contribution to the industry, leadership and promise. For the second year running we have an index of 30 outstanding individuals in this space, all aged 30 and under. Our sincere thanks to everyone who took the time to nominate individuals for the 2022 Leasing Foundation 30 under 30. Our congratulations go to everyone who made our list.
