Our Founders

Shawn Budde and Mike Armstrong, the founders of Ensemblex, first worked together twenty years ago in the sub-prime card business at Capital One. Over the course of a few years they grew the profitability of the business by 60%+.

A decade later they reunited at ZestFinance to build the first consumer lending business using machine learning in marketing, underwriting and collections to drive industry -  leading loan economics.

They’ve reunited again to form Ensemblex. They bring the power of their experience in lending and machine learning to a wide range of clients, from startups to market leaders.
