By Milan Rojan

Core banking platform Tuum has appointed Gregor Dobbie as chief executive officer, with the company positioning the leadership change as a step towards accelerating international growth and strengthening its technology capabilities.

The Estonia-headquartered FinTech has said Dobbie will lead the business through its next phase of expansion, focusing on increasing market visibility, supporting customer growth and advancing the company’s use of artificial intelligence across its operations.

Dobbie has brought more than 30 years of experience in banking technology and financial services, and the appointment has marked his fourth chief executive role. Throughout his career, he has worked with banks and financial institutions on digital transformation initiatives and large-scale technology programmes.

Gregor Dobbie, Chief Executive Officer at Tuum, said, “Tuum has built a strong foundation with a modern platform, a talented team and an impressive customer base. Financial institutions are increasingly recognising that they do not need to build everything themselves to deliver meaningful transformation. I look forward to helping more organisations understand the value that Tuum can bring.”

The appointment has come as financial institutions continue to modernise legacy infrastructure while responding to evolving customer expectations and regulatory requirements. Core banking providers have increasingly sought to position themselves as strategic technology partners for banks, lenders and other financial services firms.

Vilve Vene, Co-founder of Tuum, said, “Gregor’s experience, leadership style and understanding of the banking technology landscape make him the right person to lead Tuum into its next stage of growth. We are confident that his expertise will help strengthen our market position and support our long-term ambitions.”

Tuum has highlighted its implementation track record, stating that it has completed more than 20 major projects with a 100% success rate. The company has also said it has incorporated artificial intelligence into its software engineering and product development processes as part of its broader innovation strategy.

Dobbie has assumed the role with immediate effect and has been scheduled to make his first public appearance as CEO at Money20/20 Europe, where he is expected to engage with customers, partners and industry stakeholders.
