Global payments platform Thredd has announced Brian Kieley as the company’s new Chief Client Officer to help guide client success across multiple markets.
Starting effective immediately, Kieley will work closely with Thredd clients in the UK, Europe, APAC and US regions to improve upon the company’s growth in those respective markets.
Jim McCarthy, CEO of Thredd, commented on Kieley’s arrival: “Brian has a long-standing reputation as a product, client relationship and operations leader within the payments industry.
“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Brian for many years and he sets the standard for client support. His track record of increasing client satisfaction and driving payments programme success is truly unmatched.”
Kieley has led client-facing teams at organisations throughout the payments ecosystem for more than 25 years. He has held senior executive roles at Visa, where he spent 15 years, as well at Marqeta heading its card programme management.
Moreover, he worked at Worldpay, as well as leading his own customer service consultancy. His experience spans across bank/partner management, client operations, implementations and business process improvements across large-scale teams.
Kieley said: “The opportunity to join the Thredd team as they expand their business globally is exciting. It’s not often that you have the chance to jump on board with an organisation at such a key inflection point.
“Thredd’s varied client base comprises businesses who are delivering real value in B2B payments, BNPL, cross border payouts and digital banking to name a few. I’m looking forward to being a part of their growth journey.”
