Blend Labs names Matt Thomson as head of revenue

Blend Labs Inc. (NYSE: BLND) appointed Matt Thomson as Head of Revenue, the company announced. Thomson brings over 25 years of fintech sales leadership experience to the role.

Thomson will lead Blend's sales organization and revenue strategy, focusing on expanding the company's presence across financial institutions. He joins from previous roles at Alkami Technology and ACI Worldwide, where he built sales teams and grew customer bases among community banks, credit unions, and regional institutions.

At Alkami Technology, Thomson led sales growth from fewer than 10 to more than 300 financial institutions as customers during his decade-long tenure. He previously held leadership positions at P&H Solutions and ACI Worldwide, working with major U.S. banks on digital payment platforms.

"Matt has a proven ability to build trust with executives at financial institutions and help them see how technology can transform their business," said Nima Ghamsari, Co-Founder and Head of Blend.

Brian Kneafsey, Blend's outgoing Head of Revenue, will transition to an advisor role. The company reported adding new customers and expanding existing client relationships in the third quarter of 2025, with its pipeline increasing approximately 60% year-over-year as of the end of the third quarter.

Earlier in 2025, Blend launched Intelligent Origination, an AI-powered system integrated into its digital lending platform. The San Francisco-based company provides origination platform services for digital banking solutions to financial institutions including banks, credit unions, and mortgage banks.
