WILMINGTON, DE. (Feb.
02, 2022) – Marlette Holdings, Inc,
the owner and operator of Best Egg, the AI-powered online financial
platform, is pleased to share that it has promoted Alex Rhodes to Chief
Operating Officer. This move follows the transition of former COO Jason Swift,
who now serves as Marlette’s President of Credit Card Services. Marlette’s Best
Egg platform offers consumers fixed rate personal loans, the Best Egg Visa®
credit card, and Best Egg Financial Health, a free set of resources to help
people improve their finances.
“As Managing Director
and Head of Operations, Alex and his team have been instrumental in our growth
and success,” Jeffery Meiler, founder
and CEO of Marlette, said. “Alex is a natural fit for the COO position. As an
industry expert, he realizes the potential we have to grow and increase our
positive impact for individuals and families who are interested in building a
better future for themselves by improving their financial health.”
As a member of
Marlette’s team when it was founded in 2014, Alex joined the company as Senior
Director of Operations prior to his promotion to Managing Director and Head of
Operations. His expertise was instrumental to the launch of Best Egg’s credit
card, which has been carried by over 20,000 customers since it first hit the
market in 2021.
Having years of
experience in the industry, Rhodes previously worked at MBNA/ Bank of America,
serving in several roles and rising to the position of
Vice President of Risk Operations. He later served as Head of Recovery for
Barclays Bank prior to joining Marlette.
“It is an honor to be
promoted to the position of Chief Operating Officer for an organization that is
dedicated to helping individuals who want to improve their financial
well-being,” Rhodes said. “We’re committed to helping people get access to
money, while also providing resources that help consumers build and rebuild
their overall credit health. Our personal loans, credit card, and the recently
launched Best Egg Financial Health resource have helped build the financial
confidence of hundreds of thousands of individuals across the country – and
we’re just getting started.”
Rhodes is a resident
of Newark, Delaware having earned his Bachelor of
Science in Finance from Wilmington University and his Master of Business
