Former CIBC executive brings more than 20 years of banking, fintech expertise to innovative cash management platform
MaxMyInterest (“Max”) — an intelligent cash management and optimization platform for individual investors and financial advisors — today announced that Jill Denham, a veteran banking executive and financial technology investor, has been named to the company’s Advisory Board.
Denham is currently the President and Founder of Authentum Partners Ltd., which invests in and advises fintech startups and growth companies. She began her career as an investment banker at CIBC and gained more than 20 years of experience working as an executive at the firm’s Canadian and European offices, including leading CIBC’s private equity business and retail bank.
I see the MaxMyInterest team as true fintech innovators, dedicated to helping clients get the highest interest rates on insured deposits. Their platform is notable in the manner in which the relationships they build between banks, depositors, and their financial advisors make all parties better off, and I’m excited to join and bring my expertise to their Advisory Board.
