Having recently achieved new funding, Toqio needed our support in finding an International Marketing Director to lead their growth.
Toqio is one of the most innovative fintechs in Europe. Their platform helps customers quickly launch fintech propositions, through their fully customisable digital bank-grade solution. Toqio recently raised EUR 20m at Series A; and employs circa 80 employees across 3 offices.
Toqio’s leadership team reached out to our Executive Search consultants following a successful raise. The business was looking to put significant investment into talent. This included hiring an International Marketing Director, who would be tasked with building and developing Toqio’s GTM strategy, and building a world-class demand generation funnel.
Executive Search Partner, Rowan Fisk, has spent the majority of the last 15 years working in the B2B financial services and technology industries. As a result, there was a candidate that immediately came to mind for the International Marketing Director job. Recently in the market, and formerly of Thought Machine, Klarna and Microsoft.
Alongside presenting a statement of work, Rowan flagged the candidate’s profile, suggesting that Toqio meet her as a benchmark. However, she was much more than a point of comparison. Both parties really liked each other and after a couple of meetings, an offer was extended, and swiftly accepted.
Rowan did a fantastic job securing our first ever Marketing Director. He has deep knowledge in the marketing and tech ecosystems, and a natural understanding of cultural fit. Whilst we were still considering 3Search’s proposal, he met someone who he thought was perfect – and so did we… he was on the money from the first CV.Arancha Riestra VP of People and Co-Founder
