FairFX is pleased to announce that it has hired Ben Wynn as its Chief Product and Marketing Officer (CPMO). Ben was most recently founder and CEO at home repairs business DAD, which focused on using mobile technology to transform the way people take care of their homes.

"I am delighted that Ben is joining us as our CPMO. Constant development of products allied with imaginative and cost-effective marketing is absolutely fundamental to our success. Ben has an excellent track-record in both these areas and his appointment augments our strong internal team, to which he will bring fresh impetus and innovation. In addition, the timing of his appointment is ideal in terms of formulating the short, medium and longer term plans for the Group post the recent acquisition of CardOne Banking."
