Matt Knowles to Resign from the Board at Alpha FX

Alpha FX Group plc (LON:AFX), a FX risk management and payment solutions provider, has announced that Matt Knowles will be stepping down from his role as an independent Non-Executive Director, in order to take on a more active role with the Group as Strategic Advisor.
In his new role, Matt will be working with the senior management team for a minimum of one day a week to guide the evolution of the Group with its strategy and ensure the organisation is aligned at all levels. 

As seen on his Linkedin profile, Matt is currently serving as Chairman at Bleckwen, a fintech provider of anti-fraud software fraud for banks. Likewise, he has been a venture partner at TempoCap since April 2017. Matt has a wealth of leadership experience working as group CEO at HiFX, one of the largest non-bank players in international payments. Matt obatined his bachelor degree in Law and Accounting from Kingston University in 1995.

Morgan Tillbrook, CEO at AFX commented:

"I am very excited to have Matt join us in this capacity and the opportunity for the team and I to work more closely with him. As a co-founder himself, Matt is an entrepreneur by trade and has a wealth of experience in growing and maturing a business. His ability to coach, challenge and analyse situations from a broader strategic perspective has been invaluable in the two years I have worked with him. He also brings with him an abundance of passion and energy and I can vouch first-hand for his ability to develop and elevate people. As the business' balance sheet strengthens, how we deploy our capital is becoming ever more important and we see Matt as a valuable advisor in testing our assumptions and helping us grow the business in the right way and in the right areas. 

​Since our IPO in 2017, we've been privileged to be supported by a fantastic team of non-executives and we will look to add another independent Director to replace Matt in due course."
