London-based fintech Silverbird announces new CPO hire
London-based fintech Silverbird has made a senior appointment, hiring Stu Bailey as a Chief Product Officer. In his new role as a CPO, Bailey, who was previously CPO at Currencycloud, will be responsible for scaling Silverbird’s infrastructure as it grows internationally, helping
liberate cross-border trade.
Silverbird is a modern global payment system that offers small and medium-sized enterprises a seamless and fully digital process for joining their platform. It eliminates the need for in-person interviews or visits to a physical branch. All required documents are managed electronically, saving entrepreneurs the unnecessary hassle of traveling
outside their home country to open a bank account. This empowers small businesses to efficiently manage their finances from anywhere.
With lightning-fast transactions completed within seconds, Silverbird's banking services cover 200 countries. The company specifically focuses on collaborating with exporters and importers, allowing them to provide exceptional service and effectively fill the void left by traditional banks.
Stu Bailey said he’s joining the company “in a time of walls going up between countries”, so “it’s heartening to work for a business that’s liberating cross-border trade.”
He continued: “Max Faldin and team are focused maniacally on liberating global trade — a purpose that chimes massively with me and with the international merchants who are our customers.”
Silverbird Founder and CEO Max Faldin said: “The moment I met Stu I knew immediately he is a rockstar. On top of that, he has extremely relevant experience from his previous work with CurrencyCloud, our major banking partner. I couldn’t be more excited to have him on board.”
