Maple Finance Co-Founder and COO Will Leave Amid Strategic Differences

Maple Finance will see two leadership departures amid strategic differences, as co-founder Joe Flanagan leaves after seven years and Chief Operating Officer Ryan O’Shea is due to step down Nov. 27.

Flanagan will support the transition through the end of 2026. CEO Sidney Powell and the existing management team will assume his responsibilities. Maple characterized the handoff as mutually agreed and orderly.

O’Shea will have no further role at Maple after his departure. The company has not announced a new chairperson. His exit adds another leadership change to Flanagan’s planned departure by year-end.

Maple’s third-quarter revenue reached $4.4 million, an increase of 5% from a year earlier. Assets under management totaled $4.7 billion, a year-over-year gain of 18%. Maple provides liquidity and capital solutions to institutions through decentralized finance (DeFi).
