Rehan DAlmeida, General Manager of FinTech Australia said: “In just a few short years, Rachel has become a well-known individual within the fintech ecosystem. We’ve worked with her on a number of occasions in regards to Superhero’s relationship with FinTech Australia, and were thoroughly impressed with her professionalism and the way in which she executed her role. She’s a fantastic addition to our team.
“The creation of this new role, Head of Strategic Partnerships, is yet another key milestone in FinTech Australia growth. It’s a testament to the expansion of our partnership program, which has gone from strength to strength alongside the growth in our membership.”
Commenting on the appointment, incoming Head of Strategic Partnerships Rachel Hopping said: “It’s an honour to join the team as Head of Strategic Partnerships. I look forward to working with Rehan and the team on taking the program to new heights and building deeper relationships to deliver value to our corporate partners.”
