European
digital banking solution provider Finom has appointed Rob Allen as its new Head
of Sales, effective July 2024. Finom, which provides financial services for
small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and entrepreneurs, aims to serve over
1 million business customers in the coming years.
Finom Taps Ex-Revolut
Executive Rob Allen as New Head of Sales
Allen
brings over a decade of fintech experience to Finom, most recently serving as
VP of Sales at Super Payments. There, he built a 15-member sales team from the
ground up and drove significant increases in payment volume. Prior to that,
Allen held the position of Head of Sales for Europe at Revolut, where he led
sales teams across six European countries and boosted business client revenue
contributions.
"Rob’s
extensive experience in scaling sales operations in the sector,
particularly his success at high-growth startups, makes him the ideal leader to
drive our sales efforts forward," Yakov Novikov, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of
Finom, commented.
The
appointment was facilitated through Finom’s connection with Northzone, a new
investor in the company’s recent
€50 million Series B funding round. The company is focused on building a
comprehensive financial operating system for its target market across Europe.
This recent
investment has increased Finom’s total capital to more than €100 million
since its founding in 2019. Despite the difficult economic conditions, the
company managed to secure this funding round effectively. According to Kos
Stiskin, the Co-Founder of Finom, attracting investors “was quite easy” given
the company’s robust performance indicators and the potential in the SME
banking market.
"Finom
is at the forefront of transforming financial services for SMEs and
entrepreneurs across Europe,” commented Allen. “With its innovative product
suite and rapid expansion across major European markets, the company is poised
for significant growth."

executive, Hannes Graah. Graah, who served as the VP of Growth at the fintech
company, has now founded his own cryptocurrency , Zeal. This venture is
a wallet for decentralized finance (DeFi) and a digital asset debit card,
allowing for the spending of cryptos during everyday purchases in traditional
stores.
