Adrian Cannon

I am a business leader with a passion for innovation, problem solving and high-performance teams. I have held senior corporate positions in banking and led start-ups from pre-funding to exit. Today, I am CEP of TribeHive and a non-executive director of Planet Payment Systems Limited and its French regulated payments subsidiary of the Advent backed, Planet Payments. I recently completed a 3-year role as Group CEO of Omnio, the payments and banking tech platform based in London. Prior to this, I designed, built and led Markadis Limited, a pioneering marketing and financial services company, on behalf of Valitor h.f.. I was a partner at Edgar, Dunn & Company and specialized in payments services and innovation. During this period, I was seconded to become the first independent Managing Director of Faster Payments Scheme Limited in the UK. I joined EDC from Elavon, as Director of Strategy and M&A, and helped form a pan-European merchant acquiring bank from a range of assets purchased as part of a buy-and-build strategy. Prior to this I founded Accourt Consulting where, for five years, I led a successful management consulting firm serving major financial services and payments clients in North America, UK, Europe and Middle East. I began my career as a pioneer in the chip card industry helping shape the technology that has become ubiquitous today.
