Kani Payments has appointed Panos Savvas as its Chief Technology Officer (CTO), a move that highlights the company’s commitment to advancing its digital capabilities and strengthening its position in the global payments fintech space.
This key leadership addition comes shortly after Kani’s Series A funding round in February and marks a crucial step in the company’s growth journey. As Kani continues to expand its global customer base, the focus is now on scaling its platform and delivering more robust, compliant, and intelligent payment solutions.
Savvas brings more than two decades of experience in leading product and engineering teams across fintech and banking in the UK, US, Europe, and Latin America. He has held senior roles in both high-growth startups and large global institutions, where he led major platform transformations and scaled modern, cloud-based infrastructure. Most recently, he founded a fintech venture that provided real-time financial data solutions and successfully exited the business.
“There’s a clear opportunity here to build the most trusted source of truth for payments data,” said Panos Savvas, CTO at Kani. “Kani already has a strong foundation, trusted partnerships and serious momentum. My focus is on scaling what already works, embedding more deeply into client workflows and setting new standards for what intelligent payments infrastructure should deliver.”
As CTO, Savvas will lead Kani’s technology strategy, with a focus on scaling the platform, enhancing real-time analytics, and ensuring high data quality. His aim is to integrate more deeply into client operations and establish Kani as a key data platform in the global payments ecosystem, which is becoming increasingly complex and regulated.
“Panos brings the right mix of deep technical leadership, product vision and international experience,” said Aaron Holmes, CEO of Kani Payments. “He understands the complexity of financial infrastructure and how to make it scalable and resilient. His appointment is a huge moment for Kani as we continue to grow.”
Kani’s platform already supports clients across Europe, the Middle East, and the Asia-Pacific region. With growing demand for accurate, real-time, and audit-ready payments infrastructure, the company is focused on building tools that help financial institutions reconcile, report, and act on their data more effectively.
As CTO, Savvas is expected to play a major role in driving Kani’s next phase of growth and innovation, helping shape a future where financial institutions can rely on intelligent and scalable payment infrastructure.
