Laurence Krieger, an industry veteran with more than two decades of experience in the global corporate sector, announced today that he has left financial technology company Tide as its UK CEO. He spent approximately 5 years at Tide in different leadership roles.

Regarding his future plans, Krieger said that he will continue his engagement in the financial technology ecosystem. Additionally, Krieger thanked Tide’s team for their support.
“After 5 years in leadership roles at Tide, now’s the time that I have decided to move on. I will miss our talented Tide team, our partners, investors, and of course Tide's Members, who without their entrepreneurial spirit, there would be no Tide. Equally, I’m excited about the future, both Tide’s and my own. I’m not going far as I will continue to be fully engaged in the fintech space, working with some game-changing organizations,” he said.
Krieger’s Background
Krieger completed his education at the University of Manchester. He worked as Chief Executive Officer of Cobalt Marketing for more than 10 years. Between 2000 and 2005, he served as the Head of Business Development and Client Sales at Yahoo.
“I am extremely grateful to those who have been on this journey with me. George Bevis, who brought me into the business when Tide was his newborn baby, we have grown but our mission has remained the same. To Dr Oliver Prill and the Executive team, for your vision and the opportunity to lead alongside you all these years. Special thank you to Ian Sutherland, for your pragmatism and wisdom,” Krieger added in a LinkedIn post.
