Zurich, Switzerland – March 1, 2023 – Fides Treasury Services Ltd., the global leader in multibank connectivity, payments and transaction communications, has announced the hire of Simone Gross to lead its product management team.

Gross has 15 years of technical product experience working with multibanking, open banking and digital payments platforms, most recently as the product owner for API Ecosystems at UBS.

“Simone’s background, experience and passion for our business make her the perfect match for our team and product management leadership at Fides,” said Roman Müller, Chief Client Officer at Fides. “She has the strategic mindset and values needed to develop Fides products and services to meet the needs of, and go beyond for, our existing and future client base.” Gross will lead the strategy and vision for the industry-leading Fides multibanking product portfolio, with a focus on customer-centric innovation and market expansion. Her team will be part of the chief client office.

“I am delighted to have the responsibility for Fides’ product management ambitions,” said Gross. “There are many opportunities for innovation and growth to help our customers and partners benefit even more broadly from our platform and connectivity.
