Core banking platform provider Tuum has appointed James Bushby as Chief Revenue Officer, effective immediately, as the Estonian fintech accelerates its commercial expansion strategy. The move follows the recent hiring of Gregor Dobbie as CEO and signals Tuum’s push to capitalize on surging demand for legacy banking system modernization.
Bushby brings over two decades of fintech sales leadership experience, most recently serving as CRO at payment platform Paydock. His background includes senior roles at Ozone API and Mastercard, where he led real-time payments business development and worked directly with financial institutions and central banks on payment infrastructure expansion. His appointment comes as banks face mounting pressure to modernize outdated core systems amid compliance requirements and rising competition from embedded finance and open banking solutions.
Tuum’s cloud-native, API-first platform targets financial institutions struggling with costly legacy infrastructure. The company reports strong customer retention and an expanding sales pipeline as traditional banks seek alternatives to decades-old technology.
