At FinTech Wales, we are thrilled to announce the expansion of our team with the creation of two new pivotal roles at our Cardiff city centre office, enhancing our ability to engage with members and drive sector growth.

We are delighted to welcome Rhys Griffiths as our new Relationship Manager. Rhys brings a wealth of experience in relationship building across the Higher Education sector, having held similar roles at The Open University, The University of South Wales, and Agored Cymru. His expertise in skills development and partnerships will play a key role in supporting our members and strengthening the Welsh fintech talent pipeline.Joining alongside Rhys is Paula Domingo Pellon, who steps into the role of Operations Assistant. Paula brings with her a strong background in administration and will provide essential support across our core operations, including office management and events coordination. Her role will be crucial in ensuring the smooth running of day-to-day activities and the success of our events.

These new appointments will allow us to further engage with our members, foster the development of vital skills within the fintech sector, and provide enhanced support to Welsh fintechs looking to build a strong talent base.

“I am pleased to welcome Rhys and Paula to FinTech Wales. Thanks to Rhys’ experience working with the skills and startup ecosystems in Wales, he will bring significant insight and knowledge into the team. Meanwhile, Paula will provide invaluable support to FinTech Wales and its members. With Rhys and Paula joining us, we have expanded the team’s capacity significantly. The growth of the team enables us to further engage and support the Welsh fintech ecosystem, and focus on providing even more value to our members.”
