FinTech Australia, the leading association advocating on behalf of innovation in financial services in Australia, is looking for a new Chief Executive Officer. The hunt for new leadership was predicated by the decision of former CEO
Rebecca Schot-Guppy to exit the group to take a new position at IAG’s Firemark Ventures, the VC fund of Australia’s largest general insurer.
Schot-Guppy is expected to remain at FinTech Australia until commencing her new role at IAG in November.
“It’s been an absolute privilege and pleasure to lead FinTech Australia these past few years,” commented Schot-Guppy. “Fintech has grown from being considered a niche part of the startup ecosystem to an industry in its own right. So much work behind the scenes has gone into stewarding that growth and ensuring that the policy and profile supporting it trends in the right direction. I look forward to taking the knowledge and connections I’ve gained into the corporate venture capital world. This wouldn’t be possible without the team supporting my work and the contributions of our members, to whom I am incredibly grateful. It’s an incredibly exciting time for the industry. The next CEO will be championing what I believe will be a golden era for Australian Fintech.”
