Nick Curran, Director of Business Development, Kin + Carta
Acquisition of Endava alumni to boost financial services momentum and drive growth across markets.
Global digital transformation consultancy Kin + Carta is building on the strong performance of its financial services practice with the hiring of ex-Endava leader Nick Curran as Director of Business Development.
Joining Kin + Carta following a nine-year tenure at Endava, Curran steps into a similar role with Kin + Carta, tasked with ambitious expansion into new geographies, finding, creating, and converting demand for the digital transformation consultancy's services within the largest and most ambitious financial services organizations globally.
During his time at Endava, Curran played an integral role in growing the software development business from 1,500 people when he started to more than 12,000 by the time of his departure. He also opened new geographies and drove strategic relationships with some of the world's largest Tier 1 Retail/ Investment Banking, payments, and insurance organizations.
Reporting to Adam Grant-Jones, Chief Growth Officer (Europe), Curran's proven track record of creating and winning eight-figure engagements, his deep expertise in financial services, and his experience opening new markets from scratch makes this appointment a core feature of Kin + Carta's growth ambitions.
Speaking on the announcement, Curran commented, "There is some incredible talent and ambition across the organization, which is largely responsible for the reputation Kin + Carta has already built supporting some of the world's leading financial services companies, such as their work with Santander."
Curran continued, noting, "Already displaying leadership across several domains, including Data and AI, and working with partners such as Microsoft, Google and Amazon to help banking, payments, and wealth organizations achieve their cloud ambitions, the business is well placed to continue to make a significant impact on the sector."
Grant-Jones, continued, "Financial services is our largest vertical globally. We've seen excellent growth of key clients, some by over 150%, and are continuing to win new business despite volatility in the market. Additionally, the acquisition of Forecast Data this year drove further growth and cemented our position as Data, AI, and App Dev experts in this space. Nick joining will capitalize on and accelerate this success. His proven track record of creating and converting substantial, interesting, and valuable work with leading institutions will ensure Kin + Carta continues to partner with the largest, most ambitious companies in banking, wealth, insurance and payments."
