By Joy Dumasia

Saltare, the Early Payment FinTech, has appointed its second commercial manager to grow its customer base with a primary focus on enrolling larger corporations with extensive and diverse supply chains. Chris Wilson, a former small business owner and leadership coach, joins Saltare after owning and running several businesses throughout his career. Chris will bring valuable first-hand experience in managing business cash flow to the Saltare team, ensuring that customers feel supported by a team they can relate to.

This includes a comprehensive understanding of the challenges SMEs face when dealing with larger customers, ensuring Saltare’s tools can help larger corporations understand the benefits paying early can bring to their supply chains.

“Running a business is hard,” Chris Wilson explains. “It’s a 24/7 job, and when you’re anxious about when money will arrive in your account, it affects everything, from your sleep to the how effectively you can manage your business strategy. Saltare’s mission to bring cash flow certainty will have a significant effect on how larger businesses work with smaller suppliers. One of my first objectives will be working with some of the UK’s biggest companies and helping them understand why early payments can improve relationships within wider supply chains.”

Having worked in a range of industries, including sales and lead generation, Chris previously specialised in helping businesses of all sizes engage with their customer base and wide supply chains helping them procure, support, and develop leads.

Ant Persse, CEO of Saltare, said: “Chris has incredible knowledge as to what it takes to run a small business and, more importantly, how big business can interact with smaller businesses to encourage stronger partnerships. We’re delighted to have Chris join our team and help us introduce Saltare to a wider network of businesses to help boost supply chain relations and encourage early payments.”
