ClearBank appoints Andrew Barker as new chief revenue officer

Cloud-based clearing bank ClearBank has named Andrew Barker as its chief revenue officer.

Following the company’s £175m raise to continue its global expansion earlier this year, Barker will help fulfil the bank’s international growth ambitions.

He brings more than 25 years of experience in the technology space as a global sales leader and has helped three companies reach unicorn status.

Barker was previously at SAP Signavio where he was senior vice president of EMEA and global accounts.

“Across financial services, we’re seeing many of the big UK brands expanding their reach, across Europe and internationally,” ClearBank CEO Charles McManus said.

“The right strategy and the right offering are crucial for a successful expansion, and Andrew will be key to this process.” 

The bank said it is hoping to bring new ideas, accelerate the pace of change and ensure the bank’s international expansion is as seamless as possible with the appointment of Barker.

“I am joining ClearBank at an exciting time of growth for the business,” Barker said.

“Helping to bring ClearBank’s unique offering to more businesses in new markets is a fantastic opportunity.”
