Bristol fintech firm Moneyhub has appointed a new chief executive. Alastair McGill will take the helm of the Redcliffe-based open banking platform with immediate effect, the company has announced.
The firm’s previous chief, Samantha Seaton, confirmed in December she was stepping down from the top job after eight years in the role.
Mr McGill, who has more than 30 years’ experience in the technology sector, joins Moneyhub from financial technology business Broadridge. In his previous role as general manager, he was responsible for strategy, execution and leadership across a multi-disciplinary team serving hundreds of financial services firms and corporate treasury operations.
His career also includes a stint at Cashfac as global managing director, where he assisted the company expanding into Europe and Australia. He also previously served on the management board of SmartStream Technologies.
“We are excited to welcome Alastair to Moneyhub,” said Anne De Kerckhove, chair of Moneyhub’s board. “His exemplary track record and passion for growing businesses, building long-term client partnerships and fostering innovation makes him the perfect leader for Moneyhub’s next chapter.”
Founded in 2014, Moneyhub provides a range of savings, investment, pensions and banking engagement solutions, and works with big brands including Lloyds, Nationwide, Aon, Vodafone and Standard Life.
