“The pipeline of opportunities is hugely exciting and I was impressed by the platform capabilities, which include the proprietary eligibility checking across the multiple offerings that provide a compelling commercial proposition. I look forward to working closely with the team to continue to deliver on Freedom Finance’s record of sustainable growth, entrepreneurialism and innovation.”
Michael Davidson, Chief Revenue Officer at Freedom Finance, said: “Embedded finance offers a huge market opportunity for Freedom Finance to grow and I am delighted that we have a leader of Paul’s calibre to provide further impetus.
“There is a vast addressable market with businesses across many sectors who would benefit from Freedom Finance’s pedigree of integrating financial services. We can onboard partners rapidly to get them up and running, so the addition of Paul will only add to our ability to provide a market-leading service to the most trusted brands in the country.”
