The experienced CFO joins international payments specialists to support and advise on ambitious growth plans.
International payments experts and foreign exchange (FX) strategists Clear Treasury have announced the appointment of Tim Kidd to the board as Non-Executive Director.
Kidd spent over six years as Chief Financial Officer of Alpha Group, a leading fintech provider delivering solutions to corporates and institutions operating internationally, prior to which he spent 16 years at FTSE 100 financial and commodities markets intermediary ICAP plc, including 4 years as CFO, London and EMEA.
Clear Treasury combines FX and payments expertise with cutting-edge technology to create bespoke solutions for corporate clients that simplify their international payments, reduce currency risk, and protect cash flow for international trading and operations.
Kidd’s appointment comes as Clear Treasury sets its sights on ambitious growth and establishes itself as a go-to partner for FX risk management as SMEs navigate foreign exchange markets and cross-border transactions.
Jordan Tilley, Clear Treasury CEO, predicts the new NED will create an instant impact in shaping and steering the business’s initiatives, with his ‘deeply impressive’ governance and leadership experience. ‘We are an established name in FX and international payments, but until now we have somewhat flown under the radar. This is a momentous step as we move into a serious growth phase, and Tim is the perfect complement to our board. It is a testament to our strength and our potential that someone with Tim’s acumen has chosen to join the Clear Treasury team.
Tim Kidd, Clear Treasury Non-Executive Director: ‘I am absolutely thrilled to have joined Clear Treasury. The prospect of working with such an impressive team to bring their expertise and technology to a wider audience was too exciting an opportunity to pass up. Jordan’s inspiring leadership and infectious enthusiasm, along with the company’s people-first, high-performing culture has resulted in a unique and compelling business in the payments space, and I look forward to supporting him and the whole team in this crucial next chapter.’
