Cornerstone FS PLC (AIM:CSFS) said James Hickman will replace Julian Wheatland, who quit as chief executive last month.
Hickman, a 19-year veteran of the payment industry, will formally take up the role on 12 September 2022.
“James brings a wealth of industry experience and excellent strategic and leadership skills to Cornerstone, and I am delighted that he will be our new chief executive officer,” said chairman Elliott Mannis.
“He has impressed the board with his clarity of vision, breadth of knowledge and his strong client-centric mindset.
“The board believes he is a great fit for Cornerstone, with the combination of skills and experience to lead the business through its next strategic phase."
Hickman’s last role was as chief revenue officer at Dublin-based fintech, Fire Financial Services.
Before that, he spent nearly five years as the chief commercial officer at AIM-quoted Equals.
