Tariq Khan

About

Tariq is a financial services regulatory and transactional lawyer turned entrepreneur, startup advisor and investor. On the legal team at GE Money he helped create new consumer finance products and negotiate their distribution through large retailers. In 2006 he left GE for the founding team of Marlin Financial Group, helping operationalise an innovative, data-driven, customer-centric strategy. Marlin closed some of the largest deals in its sector, raising a £150m bond and partnering with hedge funds, and became regarded for its niche, highly profitable approach. During this time, Tariq was voted to the Board of their trade association by its c. 400 members, working closely with regulators and the industry to ensure proportionate, workable regulation. In 2014, Marlin was acquired for £295m.
