In a testament to his leadership and commitment to the real estate investment community, Kevin Werner, CEO of Renovo Financial, has been awarded CEO of the Year by the National Private Lenders Association (NPLA). The recognition came at the annual National Private Lenders Conference and highlights Werner’s instrumental role in Renovo’s consistent growth under his guidance along with co-founder Daniel Rosen.
“Kevin Werner’s leadership at Renovo Financial has been pivotal in driving the company’s expansion into new markets this year,” said NPLA Founder Jonathan Hornik. “With his deep industry experience and commitment to fostering a collaborative culture, Kevin has guided Renovo to establish a customer-first approach while growing a strong, knowledgeable team that consistently sets new standards in service and operational excellence.”
With a passion for entrepreneurship and real estate that started at a young age, this award reflects Werner’s focus on building expert, client-focused teams in every local market Renovo lends in. In-house servicing is a cornerstone of this approach, ensuring clients receive consistent, personalized support. Werner works hard to empower this key feature, one that he believes sets Renovo apart not only from its competitors but also from big-name lenders.
As Renovo continues to expand and reach new markets, Werner’s influence remains a lighthouse for the company’s mission of helping investors build their legacies, offering not just capital but true partnership. This distinction acknowledges his hard work and dedication to both Renovo’s growth and the broader success of the real estate investor community.
