In his new role, Rooney will be tasked with scaling HyperJar’s B2C and B2B offerings “at speed”.
“The closer I get to the team and the product, the more I see HyperJar’s potential to help millions of people and thousands of businesses, particularly in the current economic climate,” Rooney says.
With Rooney’s appointment, HyperJar co-founders Paul Rolles and Mat Megens will transition into new roles as architect, business and architect, consumer, respectively. Scott Davies, a HyperJar board member since 2019, will take on the role of chairman of the board.
Founded in 2016, HyperJar launched its app to the public in 2020. The firm offers a digital wallet to help people plan and manage their money. In the two years since it launched, HyperJar claims to have garnered half a million customers.
