FinTech startup MarketInvoice has appointed Rija Javed as chief technology officer (CTO) as the company is set to heavily invest in its technology.
Joining from Silicon Valley-based startup Wealthfront, Javed becomes one of the first female CTOs at a UK FinTech firm. She will be responsible for the engineering, data, science, and product and design teams.
Javed began her career in Canada with roles at IBM and Research in Motion, before moving to Silicon Valley in 2012. After working at gaming company Zynga she joined automated financial adviser Wealthfront in 2013, where she built the firm’s first mobile app, before moving onto its investment products platform.
Commenting on her appointment, Javed said: “Given the exciting roadmap ahead, our immediate focus is to scale up and continue improving our clients’ experience by investing in our team and technology. Thus, as people are the most important aspect of any venture, we’re looking to expand our team, especially in engineering.”
To date, MarketInvoice has funded business loans and over 90,000 invoices worth more than £2.5 billion since launching in 2011.
