Vicki Sloane has been appointed CEO of Birmingham’s Oxygen Finance.

The early payment provider to the public sector has promoted chief client officer Sloane to the top job after she held various roles since joining the organisation in 2012. 

As CCO she ran the early payment division, Oxygen’s largest revenue stream, growing the division by 26% during 2023 and by 29% over the same period in H1 2024.

She replaces Ben Jackson, who has stepped down for personal reasons. 

During Jackson’s tenure Oxygen has become the UK’s leading provider of early payment programmes and public procurement market insights, processing £27 billion in payments to more than 22,000 local authority suppliers annually.
