FinTech Wales, a not-for-profit independent membership organisation for the FinTech and Financial Services industries in Wales, has elected a new advisory board.

FinTech Wales also welcomed Gareth Lewis, co-founder and chief executive of Delio; Gemma Hallett, head of skills at CFIT and founder of miFuture; Jessica Leigh Jones MBE, CEO at iungo Solutions; Lynsey Walden, director at Front Door Communications; Scott Cargill, CEO at Admiral Money; Sophie Mason, founding CEO of Thinkedi; Tim Barnett CEO of Credas; and Tony Smith, chief governance officer at Principality.  

The new panel members represent a variety of industry leaders, all dedicated to supporting the growth of FinTech and Financial Services in Wales. 

David Landen said of his appointment to the panel: 

“Innovation is at the heart of what we do here at Hodge. Although we have a long history in financial services, we know that modernisation and technology are key to progressing the sector and our own business.  

“Over the years, we’ve invested in and partnered with a number of FinTech companies such as Yoello, Modulr, Mambu and Sero. Now, by joining the FinTech Wales Advisory Panel we hope to add another layer of support to create the best environment for entrepreneurs to set up business here, support Wales’s thriving start and scale-ups, by raising the profile of the Fintech sector and continuing to champion their story.” 

This collaborative effort is a big step forward in the journey to empower Wales as a hub of FinTech excellence and make Wales a world leader in the global FinTech community.
