Finastra, a global provider of financial services software, has named Adam Banks to its Board of Directors.
He is a seasoned technology executive with extensive experience across financial services, cybersecurity, infrastructure, and logistics.
Banks previously served as Global Group Chief Technology and Information Officer at A.P. Moller–Maersk, where he led the company’s technology transformation and helped restore operations following a major cyberattack in 2017.
He also founded a digital standards body for the shipping industry, which has since been adopted by 90% of global carriers.
His earlier roles include EVP of Technology at FINkit (formerly Monetise) and a 16-year tenure at Visa, where he held the position of Chief Technology Officer and Head of IT.
He currently advises a range of organisations, from FTSE Top 5 firms to high-growth startups, and sits on several boards and committees focused on risk, remuneration, and technology-led transformation.
The appointment was made through the external board program operated by Vista Equity Partners, Finastra’s majority investor.

His insight will be invaluable as we execute our strategy to be the partner of choice for mission-critical financial software solutions.”
