Board Appointment

 

Wise plc ("Wise"), the global technology company building the best way to move
and manage the world's money, today announces the appointment of Scott Hill to
its Board as an Independent Non-Executive Director.

 

Scott brings to Wise extensive experience of leading and serving on the boards
of major global technology and consumer businesses. Between 2007 and 2021,
Scott was the Chief Financial Officer of pioneering fintech Intercontinental
Exchange, Inc, parent company of NYSE. He currently serves as Chairman of the
Board of Directors at CS Disco, and as a member of the Board of Directors and
Chair of the Audit Committee at Cardlytics. Earlier in his career, Scott was
an international finance executive for International Business Machines
Corporation (IBM) from 1991 to 2007.

 

The Board welcomes Scott to his new role.

 

David Wells, Chair, commented: "Scott's decades of experience as an operator
and as a board member and board chair at some of the world's leading tech
companies make him well qualified to join Wise in our next phase of growth.
This deep experience, combined with his tenure as CFO of a global exchange,
makes him the perfect candidate to join the Board as we continue to pursue our
vision of building money without borders and progress towards moving
trillions."

 

Scott Hill, Independent Non-Executive Director, said: "Having spent 14 years
scaling a founder-led fintech company, I've learned what it takes to disrupt a
highly regulated environment - and I'm looking forward to bringing those
learnings to Wise. Through my conversations with the team, what really struck
me is how customer obsession is deeply embedded into the culture and drives
every decision. It's rare to find a company with that level of commitment to
fixing one problem: building transparent, fair cross-border payments for
millions of people and businesses. I'm looking forward to contributing as
Kristo and the team continue to make money without borders a reality for
everyone, everywhere."

 

Kristo Käärmann, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, commented: "Scott
brings significant public company, finance and U.S. markets expertise as we
are making money work without borders for millions more people and businesses
globally. I've been impressed with what Scott has helped build in his time at
Intercontinental Exchange. His addition strengthens our Board as we push to
capture a greater share of the $43 trillion annual market opportunity for
cross-border payments."
