Goeasy CEO Dan Rees Stepping Down, Patrick Ens Named Successor

Dow Jones12-02

By Robb M. Stewart

Goeasy has tapped the head of one of its operations to step into the role of chief executive, succeeding Dan Rees who the consumer lender said was stepping down for health reasons.

Patrick Ens, currently president of easyfinancial, will assume the CEO position effective Jan. 1.

The Canadian company said the appointment reflected a succession plan that had externally identified Ens in 2023 as a potential future leader. Ens joined Goeasy in 2024 after a 17-year tenure at Capital One Canada. Before being named president of Capital One Canada in 2021, he held a number of executive positions in marketing, risk and product functions, after beginning his career at the company as a risk analyst.

The Mississauga, Ontario, based company, which provides non-prime leasing and lending services, said current CEO Rees will step down at the end of the year due to a blood disorder that required him to resign. Rees will serve as a special adviser to Ens though mid-2026.

In late September, Goeasy named Felix Wu as its interim chief financial officer with the departure of Hal Khouri, finance chief since 2019.
