Intelligent Environments, the leading financial services software provider which has seen sales revenue double over the last three years, today announced the appointment of two senior hires as part of its aggressive growth strategy. Former Head of Payments at Lloyds Banking Group, Simon Cadbury, has been appointed to the role of Head of Strategy and Innovation, while Jonathan Withers joins as Sales Director from Comarch.

David Webber, CEO of Intelligent Environments, said: “Our registered user base has grown 155% over the last two years but our next growth phase is emerging as being even bigger. These two senior hires play a pivotal role in realising our major growth in 2014 and beyond. Simon’s deep expertise in payments and high level strategic development, coupled with Jonathan’s demonstrable sales drive and international exposure, will ensure we are in the best position to capitalise on the opportunities in both new and existing markets.”

Bringing more than 15 years’ technology experience, including five years as Head of Payments, Strategy & New Technology at Lloyds Banking Group, Simon has been brought in to drive the firm’s next stage of growth and international expansion. Along with former PayPal executive, Deborah Davis, who was recently appointed to the role of non-executive director at Intelligent Environments, Simon brings expert insight into the fast-moving payments industry and will lead the development of the firm’s strategic roadmap. Having previously held business development roles at BT, BSkyB, Telstra and Vodafone, Simon also brings a wealth of experience in mobile contactless payments, person-to-person payments and reward programmes. His international expansion programme builds on the firm’s current strategy which has seen it secure customers across Europe.
