Hewitt, who will take up his new role by the end of January 2023, will lead the firm’s accounting, finance and corporate treasury operations.
He joins from Silicon Valley Bank, where he held the role of CFO for the UK and Europe, the Middle East and Africa. He also served as an executive director on the UK board and management committee and was responsible for the establishment of the bank’s UK subsidiary.
Prior to Silicon Valley Bank and The Bank of London, Hewitt has also held CFO roles at HSBC in both its UK and European commercial banking divisions, and he was also deputy CFO of its UK retail division.
Hewitt says he is joining the firm at a time when “building a scalable platform and sustainable financial performance and resilience will be key to growth”.
“As a CFO, the need for a more efficient, borderless payments infrastructure is clear,” he adds.
Rebecca Skitt, co-president and group chief administrative officer of The Bank of London, says Hewitt brings “substantial experience from across the banking and financial services sectors in both established and new ventures”.
