Zumo has appointed Jonathan Sepulchre as its new head of growth, to help drive the next stage of the start-up's development.
Prior to joining the Edinburgh-based crypto wallet and payments platform, he worked in a senior growth role at Money Dashboard, where he led the acquisition and customer success teams.
Sepulchre also spent nearly a decade at Skyscanner, as part of the marketing and growth team that drove the company’s expansion. He was in charge of developing the French market and scaling fast-growing markets across Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
Sepulchre will now work with Zumo’s product and marketing teams to build out new customer acquisition channels, increasing traffic and user numbers, while developing new partner opportunities.
He will oversee Zumo’s community of users to help inform future growth initiatives, such as international expansion and new product features.
Sepulchre said: “I’ve always loved the interconnection between technology, digital marketing and growth, and I’m particularly passionate about personal finance – with crypto very much representing the new frontier of forward-looking solutions.
“It was an easy decision to join Zumo; a company full of ambition with an incredible mission to make crypto more accessible.”
Nick Jones, co-founder and chief executive at Zumo, added: “We’re growing fast and building an incredible, diverse culture; so we need people who share our values to join us on this journey.
“Jonathan, given his pedigree, is a fantastic addition to the team.”
Sepulchre is the latest in a series of senior hires for Zumo, which has now doubled its headcount over the past year, while recording 25% month-on-month growth in its user base since launch in August 2020.
In February, Zumo hired industry figures James Chadwick and Jeff Carvalho as board advisors to support the company on emerging non-fungible token and Metaverse trends.
