ABOUT TOM PEARSON
I’ve helped scale high-growth global fintechs like Revolut, Trading 212, Marshmallow and now Fintech Farm, building and leading international People & Talent teams. I work closely with (and report into) founders and execs to support fast-paced growth. I’ve worked in both VC and PE-backed companies ranging from Series A to E and helped grow teams from 100 to 300 at Marshmallow as they reached unicorn status and from 1,400 to over at Revolut as they expanded into multiple geographies.I\'ve led exec hiring across three fintechs, opened new offices from 0→1 in multiple countries and hired across EMEA, APAC and the US. I\'ve also selected and implemented global ATS platforms, compensation tools, EOR platforms, performance management systems and designed assessment criteria to improve quality of hire and candidate satisfaction. My focus is on building high-impact teams and People infrastructure that scales, without compromising on culture. That\'s included designing global People (HR) policies, performance processes, OKRs and company-wide equity incentive plans, as well as building People dashboards to monitor employee satisfaction, retention and talent density. I care about creating environments where smart people do their best work.
