Clear Junction has named Teresa Cameron, who has served as CFO for over four years, as group CEO.
She succeeds founder Dima Kats at the helm of the global payments solutions provider, which enables cross-border payments and banking infrastructure for regulated financial institutions.
Kats will move into the role of group executive chair as Clear Junction formalises its first full board.
Under this new leadership model, Clear Junction says it is strengthening its senior team to deliver the next phase of growth across the UK, Europe, and North America, having recently been named one of the FT 1000 fastest-growing companies in Europe for the second year running.
Assisting Cameron in the day-to-day leadership of the business will be Nina Papazyan, chief product and banking relationships officer; and Denis Kalyapin, chief growth officer.
Since launching in 2016, Clear Junction has grown into a group structure with licensed subsidiaries across the UK, Europe, and North America, supported by a team of more than 150 professionals.
“Teresa has already played a pivotal role in Clear Junction’s exceptional growth over the past four years,” said Kats.
“Her knowledge of the business and proven leadership stood out when we started planning the transition process last year, and these qualities make her the ideal person to step into this role.
“This appointment doesn’t signal a change in direction – our strategy and culture remain the same – but it does make us stronger. By formalising the way we already work together, we can operate with greater focus and effectiveness, while continuing to scale globally as a trusted partner for regulated financial institutions.”

Before joining Clear Junction, Cameron built her career across financial services and technology, holding senior finance roles in trading, brokerage, and foreign exchange firms, before moving into leadership positions at not-for-profit media company, PRS for Music, and student affinity network, UNiDAYS.
Her CFO responsibilities will be handed to the group’s newly appointed CFO Dr Camelia Ion-Byrne, who joined the company in June.
Cameron said: “Stepping into this role is a privilege and an exciting challenge. Clear Junction has achieved a huge amount in a short time, and now our task is to take the business to the next level – deepening the trust of our clients, strengthening our global footprint, and creating more opportunities for our people.
“Having worked alongside Dima and the team, I know we have the right mix of talent and ambition to deliver on that vision.”
