Burford Capital Limited announced the appointment of Kenneth A. Brause as Chief Financial Officer, effective May 3, 2021. Mr. Brause will be based in Burford's New York office. Jim Kilman, Burford's current CFO, was appointed in August 2019 to serve for up to two years, after having previously served as Senior Advisor since 2017. Working with a leading executive search firm, Burford undertook a broad and thorough search for Mr. Kilman's successor late last year. After reviewing a number of qualified candidates, Mr. Brause emerged clearly as Burford's preferred choice given his deep prior experience in financial operating roles at other listed specialty finance companies. Mr. Kilman will spend a three-month transition period with Mr. Brause before returning to his Senior Advisor position, in which role he will continue to provide strategic financial counsel to the Company. Mr. Brause, 56, has 35 years of experience in the financial services industry, with a significant focus in specialty finance. Most recently, he was CFO of OnDeck Capital, a New York Stock Exchange-listed specialty lender. Previously, he held a number of executive roles at CIT Group Inc.
