MISSISSAUGA, ON, Sept. 30, 2025 /CNW/ - goeasy Ltd. (TSX: GSY) ("goeasy" or the "Company"), one of Canada's leading consumer lenders focused on delivering a full suite of financial services to Canadians with near to non-prime credit scores, today announced that Felix Wu has been appointed as the Interim Chief Financial Officer (CFO), with immediate effect. This positive development follows the announcement made on September 16th, 2025 of current CFO Hal Khouri's upcoming departure from the company following the completion of third quarter reporting in November 2025.
Mr. Wu is a well-regarded financial services executive bringing over 20 years of financial and operational experience to goeasy, including significant exposure to non-prime lending. He most recently served as CFO for KOHO, a leading Canadian fintech, where he strengthened the finance, risk, and compliance functions while overseeing debt and equity activities that helped guide the company through a period of significant revenue growth. Prior to that he was at President's Choice Financial as CFO and Chief Operating Officer, and at Capital One Canada as Chief Risk Officer and CFO earlier in his career. Mr. Wu's track record in capital markets, corporate finance and operational leadership underscore his strong technical expertise and makes him an excellent fit for the company.
"We are pleased to welcome Felix as Interim Chief Financial Officer," said Dan Rees, Chief Executive Officer of goeasy. "Felix is known to several of us on the executive team and, together with the Board of Directors, we are confident that his extensive experience and proven leadership capability will solidify a smooth and effective CFO transition. The management team and Hal Khouri will work closely with Felix to underpin goeasy's progress, concurrent with the search process for our next Chief Financial Officer."
Mr. Wu's engagement at the company will include his oversight of year-end reporting and the first quarter of 2026, ensuring a seamless transition of responsibilities and continuity until a new CFO is appointed. A comprehensive search process to identify Mr. Khouri's permanent successor is already underway.
