Julian Teicke, CEO and Founder of wefox said: “We have always had a clear purpose at wefox – to keep people safe. To achieve that we have a team of brilliant people. It’s a pleasure to welcome Helen to that team. Her financial experience will, without doubt, come into its own as we maintain our focus on sustainable growth and profitability.”
