The appointment supports Onbe's growth as businesses seek to modernize their payout operations.
The appointment of Kevin Ryan as CFO comes at a pivotal time for Onbe as it capitalizes on growing corporate demand for modernized, outsourced payout solutions. Ryan's extensive background in guiding fintechs through growth phases, complex integrations, and operational transformations positions him to strengthen Onbe's financial infrastructure and support strategic initiatives as the company scales its platform and market reach.
Bala Janakiraman, Chief Executive Officer of Onbe, emphasized the strategic importance of the hire: "Kevin joins Onbe at a defining moment for the company, as more businesses look to modernize and streamline their disbursement strategies. His deep experience driving transformation for financial services and fintech organizations will be invaluable as we enter our next era of growth."
Ryan's career demonstrates a consistent focus on financial and operational improvement within the fintech and regulated financial services sectors. At Xactus, a mortgage verification fintech, he integrated seven acquisitions, implemented data systems to enhance decision-making, and drove EBITDA growth in a challenging market. Previously, as CFO and later CEO at Keane (now part of Sovos), he advanced an unclaimed property compliance platform, contributing to its eventual sale. This experience in scaling, integrating, and preparing companies for exit or growth aligns with the needs of a high-growth, investor-backed company like Onbe.
In his new role, Ryan will be responsible for the core financial functions that underpin Onbe's operations and strategy. His mandate will include ensuring financial discipline, optimizing capital allocation, and supporting the executive team in executing its long-term vision. His stated focus is on strengthening the organization's foundation to drive sustainable growth as the fintech and payments landscape continues to evolve.
