KLC Financial announced today that Spencer Thomas has stepped down as CEO after more than 25 years of leadership, with Shannon Smith named as his successor.

Spencer has played a defining role in building KLC into the company it is today, and his impact will be felt for years to come.

Shannon steps into the CEO role after more than 18 years with KLC, where he has been a key part of the leadership team across credit, operations, and strategy. He brings deep experience, strong relationships, and a clear understanding of what makes this company special.

This is a transition, not a change in direction.

Same team. Same culture. Same commitment to our customers and partners.

Fun night at Puttshack with the teamβ›³

Some solid shots, plenty of misses, and a lot of laughs in between. Good reminder that stepping away together matters just as much as showing up every day.

Moments like these are what fuel our cultureβ€”collaborative, fun, and built on genuine relationships.

Today we were proud to host β€œAsk a Credit Officer,” an open and candid forum through RMA where analysts and lenders could bring any question to a panel of seasoned credit leaders.

This event was all about creating a space for real conversations and learning more about the "why" behind credit decisions, and the practical guidance that helps us all grow in our careers.

A huge thank-you to our panel for sharing their insights, experience, and perspectives:

Dan Ryan, Credit Officer – Old National Bank
Todd Sharkey, Chief Credit Officer – Sunrise Banks
Shannon Smith, Chief Credit Officer – KLC Financial
Moderator: Ryan Baker, Vice President – SPECTRUM Commercial Finance

We’re grateful to RMA and to all the risk management professionals who joined us today. The engagement and thoughtful questions made this a truly valuable session.

Looking forward to hosting more events like this and continuing to support the development of our credit and lending community!
