Galileo Financial Technologies is delighted to announce that Charles Schwarz has joined the company as Senior Vice President of Client Success for North America.
With more than two decades of experience heading growth-oriented teams in digital banking and beyond, Schwarz most recently served as Chief Digital Officer for the Corporate Segment at US Bank, where he focused on helping business clients scale and optimize their operations. Prior to that role, he served in a variety of leadership positions with BBVA, Barclays Bank and JPMorgan Chase.
In the newly created role within Galileo, reporting to CEO Derek White, Schwarz will be charged with supporting clients’ needs and growth, including by leveraging the combined platform capabilities of Galileo and sister company Technisys, which together offer a complete, end-to-end vertically integrated banking technology stack.
“There is a tremendous opportunity to serve people and businesses differentiated financial products, at the right time, in the right place, and on the device of their choice,” said White. “From huge global banks to individual entrepreneurs, the combined Galileo and Technisys capabilities have the unique potential to deliver this for any business. The long-term opportunity for us could be more than a billion end-users getting their money right via our platform. But, the journey to get there requires us to focus deeper on our clients’ success, helping them to scale as we scale with them,” White said.
I’m thrilled to be joining Galileo, whose client-centric ethos is perfectly aligned with my own professional experience and priorities,” said Schwarz. “I look forward to spearheading our efforts to fulfill our partners’ needs and provide ongoing support as they continue to innovate and grow their businesses.
The addition of Schwarz follows the appointment last month of David Feuer to the role of Chief Product Officer for Galileo.
