About Victoria Nicholson

Victoria Nicholson is an experienced programme manager with 25 years of diverse experience. Before returning to the corporate sphere and entering fintech, she spent 14 years specializing in extreme expeditions in hostile environments, managing high-profile projects in extraordinary places with team members including Prince Harry and (at the time) Former VP Biden. Having managed the largest modern-day expedition to the South Pole (with Prince Harry, Dominic West, and Alex Skarsgard) and a 4-month, 1,000-mile walk across America with Former VP Biden in 2018, she confidently tackles any business goal, no matter how audacious, and any challenge, no matter how daunting. Stakeholder management is a key strength, with previous clients including The Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry. A pivot to payments led her to embedded finance, global expansion, and new country license setups, and she is now known as a wind-down expert. Victoria Nicholson thrives when multitasking, operating under pressure, managing diverse stakeholders (from international regulators to global customers), and delivering on ambitious timelines. She encourages individuals and teams to work together cohesively, solve problems effectively, and help organizations reach their full potential. Additionally, she has 12 years of experience in the charitable sector—7 years supporting charities for wounded and injured Service Personnel and 5 years as a Trustee of The Syrian Refugee Relief Fund.
