Backbase appoints Jodi Slomp as new Chief People Officer to drive global growth

Backbase has named Jodi Slomp as its new Chief People Officer. The company, which specializes in banking technology, is expanding its global reach with offices in Amsterdam, Atlanta, and Singapore. Slomp will lead the firm's people and talent strategy as it pushes forward with AI-driven innovation.

Slomp joins Backbase with a strong background in people and culture leadership. She has worked extensively in fast-growing tech firms, bringing expertise in scaling teams and developing talent. Her role will focus on modernising internal systems, speeding up talent growth, and strengthening leadership across the business.

Backbase is currently expanding its presence worldwide. The company operates regional headquarters in Amsterdam, Atlanta, and Singapore, along with multiple other offices. Its mission centers on empowering bankers to take control of AI advancements in financial services.

The appointment comes at a time when the role of Chief People Officer in European fintech remains relatively underdeveloped. Recent examples include Jolanda Grob's planned departure as Group Chief People Officer at Zurich Insurance by the end of 2026. Slomp's hiring signals Backbase's commitment to building a robust people strategy as it grows.

Slomp will now oversee Backbase's global people operations. Her focus will be on improving talent systems and leadership development. The move supports the company's ambition to lead in AI-driven banking solutions.
