Innovate Finance has announced that Lawrence Wintermeyer (pictured above) will be stepping down as CEO at the end of the month.

The UK membership association which represents the UK’s global fintech community has reported that Charlotte Crosswell will be taking over as the interim CEO while Innovate Finance searches for a permanent successor.

According to his LinkedIn account, Lawrence joined the association in May 2015 and will be leaving to “pursue new opportunities”.


Lawrence said: “I would like to thank all of the Innovate Finance members, stakeholders, community and especially my world-class team for what has been a breathtaking era for UK fintech – what our members have achieved is nothing short of outstanding.

“It has been an honour and a privilege to serve you knowing together we played our part in making the UK the No 1 fintech ecosystem in the world.”

Charlotte has extensive experience as a CEO, non-executive director and adviser in financial services, both in large institutions (NASDAQ NLX) and in leading and advising start-ups.

Charlotte was also a non-executive director of The City UK, has worked for many years to build strong alliances between government and the commercial sector, and has also been regularly named in Financial News’ top 100 women in finance.
