FinTech Wales is marking its one-year anniversary by launching the search for its first chief executive.
Founded in July 2019, the not-for-profit organisation acts as a global voice for Welsh-based financial services technology firms.
In its first year, the association has established an advisory board of 20 people, including representation from Welsh companies including Credas, Confused.com, Admiral, The Principality and Capital Law.
It was also recently awarded £250,000 by Cardiff Capital Region to further drive its vision to make Wales a global player in the FinTech sector.
In its first chief executive, FinTech Wales is looking for someone who can actively support the advisory board in implementing its vision for the future.
FinTech Wales board member Scott Jones said: “After a successful 12 months since our inception, the time is right for FinTech Wales to appoint a CEO who will lead us through the next phase in our development.
“We are looking for someone who shares our passion for the industry, who will work with the board for the success and growth of the organisation in Wales, the UK and beyond.”
