London-based FinTech Acquired.com has appointed Lee Clifton as COO.
Clifton’s appointment follows the hiring of Eline Blomme as chief strategy and product officer and the completion of a £4m funding deal with Beach Point Capital Management in October 2024.
He joins Acquired.com with the business looking to accelerate its growth trajectory and target an expanded market share.
Acquired.com says Clifton will be responsible for strengthening the FinTech’s strategic relationships with its key customers, as well as driving operational excellence across the business.
The firm has grown more than 200% over the past three years, with ambitions to become the leading payments provider for recurring commerce globally.
Clifton joins from Stripe, where he served as the global head of payments performance and strategy for over two years. He previously held several leadership roles at JPMorgan.
“I am thrilled to join Acquired.com at such a pivotal moment in its growth. This is a defining moment for Acquired.com as it builds on its existing successes,” said Clifton.
“I’m excited to help drive this ambition forward and contribute to the company’s continued growth.”
Greg Cox, co-founder and CEO of Acquired.com, added: “Lee’s extensive industry knowledge and proven leadership in the payments space make him a brilliant addition to the Acquired.com team.
“I am delighted to have another superstar join at a pivotal time for the business, as we continue our ambitious growth journey.”
Acquired.com is part of the Quint Group, which builds and scales FinTechs solving key issues across payments and credit.
