ON THE MOVE On the move
GlobalCollect (now Ingenico ePayments), Koen has transformed and grown both organisations across borders, leading and building multi- cultural, cross-functional teams that understand how to grow merchant processing. Koen will be speaking at PayExpo Europe 2017 in London on 4thOctober to discuss“Instant Payments: How local knowledge applies to a global trend.”
“The fabric of modern payments is inherently international,” said Koen, “and our challenge at PaySec is to weave together our knowledge from hard-to-reach Asian institutions with relevant payment methods across new territories. Instant payments is something we are all becoming accustomed to, no matter where the customer or the merchant is based. Ultimately our role as a payment leader is to work internationally to combine global and local knowledge to create great products for the end consumer, thereby boosting merchant revenue.
“I am very excited to join PaySec. The company has been very successful in tackling a challenging yet very rewarding Asian payment landscape and we all feel it is now time to export that proven track record and high focus on client relationships across additional regions including EMEA, Latin America and, ultimately, the US. I will be working closely with the experienced and established executive team to combine our existing payment and processing solutions with additional in-house and third party solutions. This will enable us to become a global PSP brand offering a vast and extensive portfolio of products, services and professional relationships.”
CivilisedBank, the new UK business bank with a Local Banker network, has appointed James Heath as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Andrew Holmes as Chief Technology Officer (CTO). Both are key appointments as the bank continues through its build phase towards launch in early 2018.
James joins from ABN AMRO Bank UK, where he was CFO in charge of strengthening the finance and tax functions to support the Group’s international growth strategy. Prior to that he was CFO and a founding director of SME focused challenger bank Cambridge & Counties, during which time he helped to guide the bank through the final stages of the regulatory approval process and built their finance, reporting, treasury and prudential risk management processes. James also worked at Close Brothers Group plc for 14 years where he was Finance Director of the Banking Division which focused on SME lending.
CivilisedBank has also appointed Andrew Holmes as Chief Technology Officer. Andrew joins from Silicon Valley Bank, where as Head of the Enterprise Programme Management Office he was at the forefront of implementing the launch of the bank’s UK branch, its first outside the US, and put in place the programme for the launch of a branch in Germany. In this role, he also significantly redesigned the Enterprise Programme Management Office.
Philip Acton, Chief Executive Officer, CivilisedBank said, “We’re delighted to have James and Andrew joining the CivilisedBank team. As CFO,
James brings a wealth of experience, having helped to launch a challenger bank in the past. He also has great SME financing, risk and regulatory experience. James will be a real asset to the bank as we prepare for launch in early 2018 and as we enter the next phase of our development.
“Technology will play a vital role in helping us to deliver our business model and – as CTO – Andrew brings significant experience in building and launching technology platforms for a new bank. Andrew will be pivotal in delivering technology to provide the best possible service to our customers.”
James Heath, Chief Financial Officer, CivilisedBank said: “I am delighted to be joining CivilisedBank as it looks to reinvent traditional banking and rebuild trust between customers and their bank. CivilisedBank’s culture and ethos are crucial in achieving this goal, and the emphasis on relationships and service rather than short-term transaction deals is essential if trust is to be rebuilt. I’m delighted to be working with the team at such a critical time for the bank as it works to serve the needs of UK SMEs.”
Andrew Holmes, Chief Technology Officer, CivilisedBank said: “CivilisedBank will be providing a service to SMEs that is both new and necessary, as it caters to a group currently underserved by the incumbent and online-only banks, and I’m thrilled to be joining the team. The right technology will be a great enabler as Local Bankers work with customers in an agile and innovative way, and I’m excited to be leading the development of this crucial platform.”
