Meet our Leaders

Doug Lebda
Founder, CEO
Frustrated with his own home-buying experience, Doug created LendingTree in 1996 to help customers find their best deals on loans. Today, he leads the company with the same passion and entrepreneurial grit he used to start it.

JD Moriarty
President, LendingTree NExt
J.D. first joined LendingTree as our senior vice president for corporate development, which meant he led our strategic acquisitions. He made such an impression that he was appointed our Chief Financial Officer just two months later. J.D now serves as our President for LendingTree Next.
Jill Olmstead
Chief Human Resource Officer
Jill leads our human resources, real estate and facilities teams, along with the LendingTree Foundation. She has an extensive HR background, having served as the founding partner of her own talent and leadership consulting firm.


Arun Sankaran
Chief Information Security Officer
Arun is LendingTree’s data watchdog. He leads our information security team to ensure company tech and information remain confidential and that potential risks are addressed. He also makes new policies to keep our data safe
