Former JPMorgan Chase executive Tom Dickason joins Harrington Brands Group as acting CFO and chief credit officer

DALLAS, October 5, 2026. Harrington Brands Group, the global consumer brand, technology and commercialization portfolio founded and chaired by Kevin Harrington, announced that Tom Dickason has joined as acting chief financial officer and chief credit officer. His appointment supports HBG’s entry into private credit, within the platform and alongside credit facilities for one of HBG’s strategic portfolio companies.

During 16 years at JPMorgan Chase, Dickason directed finance and accounting for commercial bank credit businesses representing approximately $41B in lending commitments. He helped expand asset based lending from $5B to more than $35B in commitments and spearheaded the formation of Chase Capital, building its mezzanine, second lien and equity business into a $2B AUM entity. He also oversaw financial operations and reporting for six businesses generating over $600M in annual revenue.

“Tom’s arrival is a major step in building an institutional investment platform around Kevin’s 40-year track record: more than 50,000 pitches heard, more than 500 products launched and three companies taken past one billion dollars,” said Billy Glynn, Managing Director of Harrington Brands Group. “Had that record carried a traditional private equity or venture firm’s name, I believe Kevin would rank among the world’s most accomplished consumer investors and dealmakers. Tom’s caliber helps institutionalize the platform around that record.”

“After 16 years evaluating businesses through a lender’s eyes, I look for consistency through cycles. Kevin has navigated four decades of economic and technological change while continuing to identify where the consumer is going,” said Dickason. “This holiday season, inflation, elevated costs, tariffs and geopolitical uncertainty will test households’ spending power. I expect consumer credit to play a greater role as people continue to buy, travel and celebrate. Kevin’s understanding of that behavior is a powerful foundation for the financial platform we are building.”
