Getting Ready for What's Next: Welcome, Chris Mayor, Synctera's New CTO

June 9, 2026

Peter Hazlehurst

CEO and co-founder

Peter is a FinTech founder, investor, hacker, and product leader. With previous stints leading teams at Uber, Google, Yodlee, and more, Peter has helped banks and FinTechs alike build the future of finance over the course of his 25+ year career.

We’ve spent over six years building a unique company. The platform we have today exists because of the people who built it, and they built it the way we needed it built: carefully, with compliance and resilience front and center. Synctera has been durable enough to hold up under pressure and flexible enough to scale with banks and FinTechs as their needs change. 

Synctera has grown over the past six years, with more banks, more customers and more products used in so many interesting ways. The next chapter of Synctera, requires us to think about expanding our platform architecture, operational scale, and how we continue to bring new technologies, including AI, into financial services. 

That's why Chris is joining us.

Chris spent the better part of a decade at Coupa as VP of Architecture, growing the company from a few hundred people pre-IPO to over 3,000. He’s done the hard work of scaling platforms that don’t break, complete with enterprise security, compliance, acquisitions, and integrations. Chris knows what it means to build for companies like Amazon, Nike, Walmart – all places where “good enough” won’t get you anywhere.

AI is going to touch every corner of financial services. Faster than we think. AI’s adoption is not a prediction anymore, it's just what's happening. 

As we continue building our platform that connects banks, FinTechs, and the next generation of financial products, we're investing in the leadership and technical foundations required for the journey ahead.

More soon.
