By Milan Rojan

Finverity has appointed former ING Global Head of Supply Chain Finance, Chris Thomas, as its Chief Commercial Officer, strengthening its senior leadership team as the FinTech continues to expand its trade and supply chain finance platform.

The appointment has brought more than two decades of experience in trade finance, working capital solutions and banking to Finverity’s executive team. Thomas has previously held senior roles at ING, where he led the bank’s global supply chain finance business and worked with multinational corporates and financial institutions on financing programmes.

Chris Thomas, Chief Commercial Officer, Finverity said: “Finverity has built an innovative platform that addresses important challenges in trade and supply chain finance. I look forward to supporting the next phase of the company’s commercial growth and helping expand access to efficient financing solutions.”

Finverity has said the appointment supports its strategy of scaling its technology platform and expanding access to trade finance for banks, non-bank financial institutions and corporates. The company has continued to develop digital infrastructure that connects financial institutions with institutional investors, helping to improve the distribution and funding of trade finance assets.

The FinTech has positioned its platform as a means of increasing liquidity and improving efficiency across supply chain finance, enabling participants to access financing through a digital marketplace while streamlining transaction processes.

Yaroslav Kologryvov, CEO and Co-founder of Finverity, said Thomas’s experience in global banking and supply chain finance had made him well placed to support the company’s commercial ambitions and strengthen relationships with financial institutions and investors.

The appointment has reflected continued investment by FinTech firms in experienced banking executives as digital trade finance platforms seek to scale their operations and broaden market adoption. As demand for technology-enabled working capital solutions has continued to grow, firms have increasingly focused on combining banking expertise with digital infrastructure to improve efficiency, liquidity and access to trade finance across global markets.
