Fidesmo continues to grow its business and expand its team with the addition of Peter Cooper as Chief Security Officer. Peter Cooper joins from Adyen, one of Europe’s most prominent Fintechs, where he was instrumental in structuring and establishing the company’s security program as well as managing the initial international build-out of the infrastructure for their platform.
