As chief compliance officer and general counsel, Dietz will oversee CAN’s compliance with all Federal and state lending, banking and securities laws. Before joining CAN Capital, Dietz served for nine years as senior vice president, general counsel and chief compliance officer of New Jersey-based Marlin Business Services.

“I could not be more excited to join a company and a team that believes so deeply that its people and its culture are the keys to harnessing the company’s growth potential,” said Dietz. “We’re fortunate to be able to build upon CAN Capital’s experience, brand recognition, data and partner relationships as we work to expand our product offerings, our team and, ultimately, CAN’s value.”

CEO Edward J. Siciliano spoke about Dietz’s hiring: “Having worked with Ed and knowing his skill set and the many intangibles that he brings to CAN, I feel fortunate that he’s leading our legal and compliance efforts.” Siciliano added, “Ed’s just what we needed as we position CAN for growth and to lead a new era of small business lending.”

Based in New Jersey, Dietz is a father of four who in his free time coaches youth baseball, basketball and wrestling while serving on the board of directors of the Haddonfield, New Jersey Little League. A lifelong athlete, he and his father hold the distinction of being the only father-son combo to both serve as captains of the Gettysburg College football team.
