Her investment banking roles as CEO, COO and Finance Director give her first-hand experience of working on many of the challenges that Gresham address for their customers.

Dr. Ruth Wandhöfer is a Global Fintech 50 Influencer with deep expertise in the Fintech and RegTech sectors. Her extensive career includes spearheading regulatory and market strategy for Treasury and Trade Solutions at Citi, advising the European Banking Federation on Securities Services and Payments and serving as a NED of the London Stock Exchange. Wandhöfer’s footing at the nexus of finance, technology, and regulation puts her in the ideal position to cement Gresham’s role in the new digital and fintech ecosystem.

Peter Simmonds, Chairman at Gresham, commented: “We are delighted to have Jenny and Ruth join the Board. They bring deep experience in global banking and financial technology to the Company at an exciting time as we look to accelerate the Clareti business and further monetise the wealth of IP that the Company has developed and acquired in recent years.”
