LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Omnio Holding Sàrl, the holding company of Omnio Group, today announced
the appointment of Robin Dear as its Chief Financial Officer (CFO),
effective June 10, 2019. Omnio is an advanced public cloud core banking
platform that provides flexibility and omnichannel functionality across
retail and digital channels for banks and non-banks.
Robin Dear, who will also sit on the Omnio Board, brings extensive
experience and in-depth knowledge of the financial services arena to the
role, with an executive leadership career spanning some 22 years. He
joins Omnio from Cashplus Group where, as CFO and Founder Member, he
supported the business as it grew from a start-up to a major challenger
to the high street banks. Robin remains an NED of APS Financial, the
regulated subsidiary of Cashplus Group.
Prior to Cashplus, Robin Dear worked for Citigroup as Vice President for
Finance for Citibank Diners Club, as well as Universal Music Group,
where he was Finance Director for their distribution arm, Britannia
Music. He has an MBA from Henley Management College and a Business
Studies degree gained at West of England University. He is also a Fellow
of the Institute of Management Accountants.
The appointment comes at a valuable time as Omnio gears up for growth in
the fast-evolving banking and financial services sector globally. The
global fintech sector is expected to maintain a compound annual growth
rate (CAGR) of 74.16% through to 2025, driven by growing internet
penetration around the world, as well as the increasing availability of
spatial data. To benefit from this impressive growth, traditional
high-street banks and non-banks looking to enter the financial services
space increasingly need support from specialists in providing
omnichannel banking functionality. It is Omnio’s mission to supply these
new foundations for banking to its clients in the UK, throughout Europe
and Australia.
Scott Lanphere, Chairman of the Board at Omnio, commented: “Robin brings
with him formidable experience that will benefit Omnio as it grows into
the future. His dedication to nurturing the businesses in his care, and
his proven ability in leading compliance and risk management, as well as
his strong financial management, have led to impressive results
throughout his career. His expertise and insight will be crucial as we
cement Omnio’s position in the banking and fintech industry and work
towards the company’s ambitious growth goals.”
Robin Dear added: “Omnio has built a unique and impressive banking and
fintech business, offering a proven track record for making financial
innovation simple for brands around the world. I’m excited to have the
opportunity to leverage Omnio’s unique cloud core banking platform to
identify new areas of growth for the business. I am looking forward to
getting to know everyone on the team and playing my part in taking Omnio
to the next stage in its evolution as a leading fintech business.”
Robin joins the business as the shareholders look to expand the
leadership necessary to scale the company. Robin’s appointment is
particularly poignant given the vacancy left by the departure of the
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Omnio. Ian Clowes served as CEO of
Omnio during a crucial transition with the merger of PCT and Tuxedo.
Omnio looks forward to his continued support as a Director of the
company. Omnio will be announcing a new CEO to further strengthen its
executive team in the next few months.
