Bud Financial appoints two new senior executives
Rachel Fairhurst has been appointed as vice president of credit risk and client success and Jakub Piotrowski has been named vice president of product.
Fairhurst brings more than two decades of experience to her new role and has previously held several senior credit risk management positions. She joins Bud from Auden, a consumer fintech company based in Manchester, UK, where she served as head of credit.
Prior to Auden, she spent over three years at Credit Kudos working as head of implementation and credit consultancy. Her earlier experience includes stints at Equifax UK and Bank of America, where she notably spent nearly a decade of her career.
At Bud, Fairhurst will be responsible for driving the development of the company’s Assess solution, which enables financial services clients to enhance their affordability, credit scoring and decisioning processes.
Fairhurst will also work closely with the product department headed up by fellow new hire Piotrowski, who Bud says brings “extensive experience as a commercially-focused product leader” to the company.
With almost 20 years of career experience, Piotrowski joins Bud from digital banking solutions provider Meniga, where he served as chief product officer for over six years. He also spent eight years at Accenture in various senior roles.
At Bud, Piotrowski will work on expanding the company’s AI-led financial insights and data intelligence solutions.
