Billd strengthens leadership team amid growing demand for construction financing solutions

Austin, Texas – Billd, a provider of commercial financing solutions for subcontractors, is strengthening its executive leadership team to support the company's rapid growth. In response to increased demand for specialized financing tools in the construction industry, Billd has appointed Paul Williams as Chief Financial Officer, Brad Cooper as Chief Customer Officer, and Allison Dancy as Chief Marketing Officer.

Paul Williams is tasked with maintaining the financial stability of the business as it expands. With over $5 billion raised in capital throughout his career, Williams brings significant experience to the role. Brad Cooper joins Billd with more than 20 years of experience leading customer experience teams at Fortune 500 companies and Procore. As Chief Customer Officer, he aims to enhance service for existing clients while attracting new ones. Allison Dancy steps into the position of Chief Marketing Officer with a background in corporate rebranding and product launches over her two-decade career.

These strategic appointments underscore Billd's dedication to supporting commercial subcontractors by building a capable leadership team to achieve ambitious growth targets. Amid rising interest rates and financial uncertainty within the industry, Billd is expanding its executive team to address these challenges directly. Paul Williams, Brad Cooper, and Allison Dancy will join Christopher Doyle (CEO), Jesse Weissburg (Chief Commercial Officer), and Burak Gunes (Chief Risk Officer) in forming an experienced C-Suite focused on customer needs.

Christopher Doyle, President and CEO of Billd, commented on these key appointments: “We believe that every subcontractor deserves tailored, flexible financial options that align with their goals. So we are bringing in world-class talent – like Paul, Brad, and Allison – to make our vision reality.”

As part of its growth strategy, Billd aims to assemble a robust team dedicated to ensuring subcontractors have access to essential financial tools for success.

Billd was founded by Christopher Doyle and Jesse Weissburg in 2018 after recognizing the negative effects of delayed payments on subcontractors within the construction industry. The company offers financial products that provide upfront funds for materials and labor costs while offering flexible credit lines tailored to cash flow unpredictability.
