Fintech group Wise has announced the appointment of Scott Hill, a long-time tech executive, to its board of directors.
Hill, who will join the board of Wise as an independent non-executive director, has held a number of prominent roles in the international fintech industry, including a more than 10-year period working as the chief financial officer at Intercontinental Exchange.
Currently, Hill is chair of the board of directors at CS Disco and sits on the board and serves as chair of the audit committee at Cardlytics. He also spent more than a decade as an international finance executive at IBM.
“Having spent 14 years scaling a founder-led fintech company, I’ve learned what it takes to disrupt a highly regulated environment – and I’m looking forward to bringing those learnings to Wise,” Hill said.
“Through my conversations with the team, what really struck me is how customer obsession is deeply embedded into the culture and drives every decision. It’s rare to find a
company with that level of commitment to fixing one problem: building transparent, fair cross-border payments for millions of people and businesses.”
Wise co-founder and chief executive Kristo Käärmann commented: “Scott brings significant public company, finance and US markets expertise as we are making money work without borders for millions more people and businesses globally.
“I have been impressed with what Scott has helped build in his time at Intercontinental Exchange.”
