ORSNN Names New Leaders for Loan Trading

Leadership Appointments Target Loan Data

On Friday, Oct. 2, 2026, electronic loan trading platform ORSNN, Inc. announced three high-level leadership appointments intended to streamline whole loan evaluations for institutional participants. According to information released over PR Newswire M&A via PR Newswire, the company named Aaron Khoo as chief product officer, Werner Koepf as chief technology officer, and Ken Plank as senior advisor for credit unions. The personnel updates are designed to align product development, engineering execution, and credit union lending expertise around the core objective of making loan data easier to evaluate, diligence simpler to coordinate, and transaction workflows more reliable for banks, credit unions, and institutional investors.

Sean Banerjee, chief executive officer of ORSNN, noted that selling a loan pool correctly starts with understanding it at the loan-level. Khoo and Koepf bring substantial scale experience from previous technology organizations, while Plank brings direct lending background from the institutions the platform serves. Khoo will oversee product strategy and prioritization with an emphasis on digitizing traditional loan sale workflows while embedding security, compliance, and data fidelity into product requirements. He previously served as general manager of AWS Control Tower and Service Catalog, where he directed product and engineering for cloud governance and management services following engineering leadership roles at AWS and Microsoft. Khoo holds a Ph.D. in computer science from Northwestern University and a B.A. in computer science and mathematics from Knox College.

Technology And Credit Union Strategy

Addressing the market conditions, Khoo stated that the whole loan market remains burdened by fragmented data and workflows that complicate transactions unnecessarily. Koepf will take charge of technology strategy and engineering execution, covering platform architecture, infrastructure, security, and reliability. His prior background includes serving as chief product and technology officer at LILT AI, senior vice president of engineering at Karat and Conversica, and senior leadership positions at Ticketmaster, Expedia, and Amazon. Koepf holds a Ph.D. in theoretical physics and a master's degree in physics from the Technical University of Munich, alongside a B.S. in mathematics and physics from the University of Regensburg.

Koepf noted that the draw to ORSNN lies in applying technology and artificial intelligence to improve a complex market by converting loan-level data into efficient, transparent, and reliable workflows. Meanwhile, Plank will advise the firm on the specific lending and portfolio requirements of credit unions, drawing on a career spanning commercial, mortgage, and consumer lending, credit administration, and credit risk management. His prior executive service includes roles as executive vice president of lending and chief lending officer at Numerica Credit Union, as well as banking posts at Washington Trust Bank, Wells Fargo, and U.S. Bank. Plank holds a B.S. in business management from Lewis-Clark State College, graduated from the Pacific Coast Banking School, and holds the Certified Chief Executive designation from CUES.

The leadership additions follow a period of active platform development for the firm. ORSNN has supported $3 billion in loan offering volume to date and completed its SOC 2 Type I examination in the second quarter of 2026. The company is also nearing the completion of a capital raise aimed at supporting continued product development, engineering execution, and market expansion. Founded in 2019 by former trader Sean Banerjee and former Amazon engineer Rohit Gopal, ORSNN operates as an electronic trading platform for institutional fixed-income whole loan markets, enabling financial institutions to ingest and model loan-level data, build distinct pools from larger portfolios, coordinate diligence, and execute bulk loan sales and participations through a unified digital workflow.
