The new hires are said to bolster the executive leadership team of GPS, the payments processing partner of FinTechs such as Revolut, Starling Bank and Curve, as the business drives its global expansion plans forward beyond Europe and APAC.

As Chief Financial Officer, Hodgson is responsible for scaling the GPS Finance function as it expands geographically, bringing more customers onto the GPS platform. A qualified accountant, he brings with him over 25 years of experience in financial services, pharmaceuticals, and FMCG. Prior to joining GPS, Hodgson held senior positions at XE.com, HiFX, Travelex, and GlaxoSmithKline.

Puckrin is responsible for setting the product strategy and roadmap of the company in his role as Chief Product Officer, ensuring that these align with the overall commercial strategy of providing the most reliable and feature-rich platform to GPS customers worldwide. With more than 20 years’ experience in payments, mobile and FinTech, Puckrin is said to have a track record of developing award-winning B2B and B2C products whilst in senior product and technology positions at Worldpay, Nested, Monitise, and Symbian.

In his capacity as Chief Technology Officer, Gudgeon spearheads the technology strategy and delivery for the business, which includes overall responsibility for the development and day-to-day technology operations of the GPS Apex platform. Having held senior technology and leadership positions at American Express, TD Bank, Fidelity and a Swiss Private Bank, he brings more than 25 years’ experience in payments, investments and banking technology. Alongside this, he also founded two FinTech start-ups in payments and investments.

GPS Chief Executive Officer, Joanne Dewar enthused, “We are thrilled to welcome Richard, Shaun and Jerome to the leadership team at GPS.
