Finastra Appoints Adam Banks to Board of Directors<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Seasoned technology leader brings deep transformation expertise across financial services, cybersecurity and infrastructure sectors<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finastra,<\/a> a global leader in financial services software, today announced the appointment of\u00a0Adam Banks to its Board of Directors.\u00a0A recognized authority in digital transformation and technology leadership, Banks brings decades of experience across a range of industries, including banking, cybersecurity, infrastructure and logistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Banks has held senior roles at some of the world\u2019s most influential companies. As Global Group Chief Technology and Information Officer at A.P. Moller\u2013Maersk, he led the company\u2019s end-to-end technology transformation and was instrumental in restoring operations following the world\u2019s largest cyberattack in 2017. He also founded the shipping industry\u2019s digital standards body, securing adoption by 90% of global carriers.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier in his career, Banks served as EVP of Technology at FINkit (formerly Monetise) and spent 16 years at Visa, culminating in the role of Chief Technology Officer and Head of IT. Today, he advises a diverse portfolio of companies ranging from FTSE Top 5 firms to high-growth startups, serving on Boards and Committees focused on risk, remuneration, and technology-led transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Adam is a proven change agent whose expertise spans the technologies and industries that are shaping the future of financial services,\u201d said Chris Walters, CEO of Finastra. \u201cHis insight will be invaluable as we execute our strategy to be the partner of choice for mission-critical financial software solutions.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commenting on his appointment, Banks said, “I am excited to join Finastra\u2019s Board at such a pivotal time. Chris and the leadership team have a compelling vision for the future, and I look forward to contributing to the company\u2019s next chapter of focused growth and customer success.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Banks\u2019 role was sourced through the external board program operated by Vista Equity Partners, a global technology investor that specializes in enterprise software and a majority investor in Finastra. Launched in 2017, the board program leverages Vista\u2019s ecosystem and additional resources to identify, train and appoint qualified board candidates for its portfolio companies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program works to create a pipeline of highly talented board candidates through programs and partnerships that will drive results for the corporate world at large.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
