In line with FISCAL Technologies' growth plans, and after being listed last year as a Deloitte Fast 50 company, the firm has announced the strategic appointment of Peter Fortune as their new Chairman of the Board.

Peter has more than 20 years’ experience managing and executing expansion strategies in the financial technology industry - experience which FISCAL sees as key to its own future plans.  Peter directed the growth expansion of Checkpoint Holdings, a corporate payment solutions business, to grow it into the UK’s market leader. He then led its sale to NASDAQ-listed Bottomline Technologies, remaining at the company as President for Europe and COO. While he was there he successfully integrated 5 acquisitions in 5 years and helped grow annual revenues by 100% to $150 million.

Peter Fortune said of his new appointment, “I am very excited to join FISCAL at such an important time in the company’s development. Already an established leader, there are still significant growth opportunities for this innovative company to capitalise on. Furthermore, I am looking forward to providing strategic counsel as the disruptive potential of its solution offering is fully realised.”

David Griffiths, CEO of FISCAL Technologies, said, “Peter Fortune is a tremendous addition to the Board of Directors. He is a proven industry leader, who will be joining a team of like-minded individuals to ensure we have both the strategy and the execution to continue the success of FISCAL as the de facto standard for protecting organisational spend in EMEA and the US.”
