Crypto Wallet and Payments Platform Zumo Names Jonathan Sepulchre as Head of Growth

Zumo, the Edinburgh-based crypto wallet and payments platform, has appointed Jonathan Sepulchre as Head of Growth, a newly-created function to drive the next stage of the company's development.

An experienced growth leader with a comprehensive background in digital marketing, Jonathan will work closely with Zumo's product and marketing teams to build out new customer acquisition channels, further increasing traffic and user numbers whilst unlocking new partner opportunities for the business. He will recruit talent for the newly-created growth function, and oversee Zumo's diverse community and ensure that customers' voices help inform future growth initiatives, such as international expansion and new product feature development.

Jonathan has a strong track record in growing consumer apps. Prior to joining Zumo, he worked in a senior growth role at Money Dashboard, where he led the acquisition and customer success teams.

He also spent nearly a decade at Skyscanner as part of the marketing and growth team that fuelled the company's expansion from promising travel start-up to global tech leader. Jonathan was in charge of developing the French market and scaling fast-growing markets across EMEA, delivering exponential growth in monthly revenue.

Nick Jones, Co-founder and CEO, Zumo, stated: "We're on a mission to give people everywhere the safest and simplest way to buy, store, send and spend digital assets. We're growing fast and building an incredible, diverse culture; we need people who share our values to join us on this journey. Jonathan, given his pedigree, is a fantastic addition to the team."

Jonathan is the latest in a series of senior hires for Zumo, which has now doubled its headcount over the past year whilst recording 25% month-on-month growth in its user base since launch in August 2020.

In February 2022, Zumo hired influential industry figures James Chadwick and Jeff Carvalho as board advisors to support the company on emerging cultural, NFT and metaverse trends. In March 2022, Dagmara Aldridge was appointed as Zumo's first Chief People and Culture Officer as the company seeks to reflect Future of Work trends and the latest neuroscience teachings in its HR management.
