About Andrea

Andrea came to marketing through a fairly circuitous path, with an academic background in finance and accounting. After university, she worked in several different companies in the Middle East in various finance and business management roles, until she sort of stumbled into a marketing position by accident.

It was an eye-opening experience, and she quickly fell in love with the industry, and she's been a marketer ever since. Her background in finance has given her unique skills in managing marketing budgets and insights into that industry, and when she had the opportunity to apply those skills to fintech marketing, she jumped at the chance. She's been in the fintech industry in various CMO roles for the last 7 years, with her current role at Zai, the new brand that's resulted from the merger of CurrencyFair and Assembly Payments.
