"Kristofer's appointment is a major coup for Mambu and we believe he will be instrumental in solidifying Mambu's presence in Australia and New Zealand," said Mambu APAC managing director Myles Bertrand.

"The ANZ region is really heating up when it comes to digital banking, so having Kristofer on the ground is going to be critical for us."

Rogers joined Mambu from Split Payments where he served as CEO after a short stint as COO.

He previously worked in the fundraising sector, as national digital program director at Cancer Council, CEO of SimplyGiving, and general manager of GoFundraise.

Earlier in his career Rogers worked in the exhibition and publishing industries.

He is also a board member at The Max Foundation, an advisory committee member of Be Someone for Someone, and a director of advisory firm Eden Consultancy.

Rogers holds an honours degree in commercial music from the University of Westminster (UK).

"Australian banks have been through a lot of scrutiny, which has led to very ambitious transformation strategies – also driven by increased competition from emerging fintechs and the launch of open banking," he said.

"With APRA driving cloud adoption as a priority, now is the time for all financial institutions and emerging players to explore innovative solutions, and Mambu is at the core of this new ecosystem. I'm looking forward to the challenge of scaling Mambu's ANZ operations."
