Oliver Petersen joins Finverity as CCO

By Milan Rojan

Finverity has appointed former ING Global Head of Supply Chain Finance, Oliver Petersen, 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. Peterson 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.

Oliver Petersen, Chief Commercial Officer, Finverity, said, “I’ve spent 24 years inside banks watching the same challenges repeat: fragmented systems, slow onboarding, programmes that can’t scale across products or geographies. FinverityOS solves this. It’s a single platform that handles payables finance, receivables finance, distributor finance, and more across multiple markets, with the flexibility for each institution to configure it to their own operations or programme requirements. And critically, it’s built with the level of security and compliance infrastructure that banks demand. That’s something the industry doesn’t talk about enough, but it’s often the deciding factor. The opportunity to bring this platform to more banks and corporates across Europe and beyond is what brought me here.”

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.

Viacheslav Oganezov, CEO and Co-founder of Finverity, said, “Oliver’s appointment as CCO will strengthen Finverity’s commercial reach globally, with a particular focus on the European market, where Oliver has spent over two decades building relationships with banks, corporates and financial institutions.”

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.
