Leadership
Darpan Saini
Before founding AssemblyEngine, Darpan was General Manager of Q2 Lending and co-founder of Cloud Lending Solutions, building the enterprise lending software that banks and credit unions run on. He saw firsthand how commercial loan closings remained one of the last manual, paper-heavy processes in banking, and now drives AssemblyEngine's product vision: AI agents that reason about each deal the way your best loan closer would, not just fill templates.
Dub Sutherland
Dub is Managing Partner at Kennedy Sutherland, where he represents financial institutions and private companies across debt financing, M&A, and securities, and serves as Vice Chairman of TransPecos Banks. That rare combination of practicing attorney and bank operator is built directly into how AssemblyEngine's AI agents reason about deals, so every closing package reflects real judgment, not generic templates.

Aakash Yadav
Before AssemblyEngine, Aakash built production financial systems at Solid, a Series B fintech. He leads the engineering and AI architecture behind the platform: AI agents that apply legal reasoning at scale, with the full audit trails and explainable reasoning that regulated institutions can stand behind.
Bryant Massey
Bryant has spent his career on the commercial side of banking and lending technology, leading enterprise sales to community banks and credit unions at Abrigo (acquired by KKR) and guiding lending, credit underwriting, and risk modeling for Tier 1 institutions at Moody's. At AssemblyEngine, he leads revenue and go-to-market, drawing on deep relationships across banking and a firsthand understanding of how lending institutions buy and adopt technology.
