Appmilla Rebrands and Expands

New CEO and CDO join the team

Appmilla is excited to announce the appointment of James Guest, CEO and Tim Cryer, CDO.

Richard Woollcott founded Appmilla back in April 2020 with a focus on mobile app development for FinTech. After delivery of a succession of successful applications it was time to expand the business.

James Guest brings over 26 years of digital agency experience to the Appmilla team, leading production teams, client services and operations. James previously worked with Google for 4 years, and has been a Founder, Director or C-Level executive of 7 UK digital agencies or digital product companies, and a senior project, product and account manager in others – a true digital agency veteran. James has specialised in FinTech and blockchain since 2017, and is passionate about the opportunities that Web3 and distributed ledger technologies have to offer.

“I’m thrilled to be joining the Appmilla team. It’s an exciting time for FinTech and Web3, we’re only just scratching the surface of what this technology can do to revolutionise access to financial services, to streamline businesses and to positively contribute to financial inclusion.” – James Guest, CEO.

Tim Cryer, has been a lead product designer specialising in FinTech for over a decade. Tim has successfully designed a multitude of human-centred and award-winning native apps and web applications for the likes of Nationwide and HyperJar. Tim and James also collaborated on many Web3 projects whilst working together at Simpleweb’s Blockchain studio.

“Enabling simple, universal access to financial products and services requires great user experience design. There’s a fantastic opportunity with FinTech to create beautiful, intuitive apps that help users from all walks of life to engage with financial services in ways that were once totally out of reach. It’s great to be joining Appmilla to deliver products that solve real business problems and provide meaningful experiences in this rapidly evolving space.” – Tim Cryer, CDO.

With the experience that Tim and James bring, Appmilla has rebranded its appearance, solidified its mission and expanded its offering to include FinTech apps for all platforms – be that mobile, web, desktop or decentralised (Web3) applications.

“It’s great to have so much experience on the leadership team. We’re already making great strides in growing the company and team into a first class, FinTech focussed, full service digital agency. It’s also a great time for the tech too, our partnerships with open-banking, trading and other FinTech API providers, coupled with cross-platform development tools like Kotlin and React Native are perfect for the rapid development of FinTech products” – Richard Woollcott, CTO.

Appmilla is on a mission to increase financial inclusion through the design and development of FinTech and Web3 apps. We’re working on rapidly building the team and forming partnerships in FinTech regulatory compliance, technology and services – please get in touch if you want to talk about how we might work together.
