Mike Kennedy
Chief Executive Officer
As CEO and Co-Founder of SecureExchange, Mike focuses on ideas that will transform the finance industry. Rolling back the timeline, he was Executive Vice President and Head of Innovation Payments Strategy for Wells Fargo. He has a BS and MS in industrial engineering from Stanford and an MBA with distinction from Harvard. After work, you can find Mike on the rec volleyball and soccer fields of San Francisco or planning a family vacation with his wife and two daughters. He’s on country number fifty, so that qualifies as a serious travel bug.
Warren Chambers
Risk, Compliance, Operations
Warren joined SecureExchange in 2012 and has played many roles at our company. He took a leadership role in the launch of our Out-of-Network payment services. At this moment, he runs compliance and risk management. Prior to joining us, he held a variety of senior positions in Bank of America’s Global Payments division (he was instrumental in creating their national treasury platform). After living in Asia for 12 years and working in 32 countries, he’s found a home in the San Francisco Bay Area. Outside of work, Warren is an enthusiastic chef and foodie – his specialty is a scrumptious French cassoulet that takes 3 days to prepare.
Melissa Lowry
Product and Marketing
Melissa is the lead voice in product management, marketing and communications. Prior to joining us, she was a Senior Vice President in Wells Fargo's Innovation & Payments Strategy team. Factor in multiple strategic roles in Wells Fargo's Wealth Management Group and at Lehman Brothers Investment Banking Division, and you understand her deep communication skill-set. While she’s a Stanford MBA grad, she grew up wanting to be a dancer in a music video. Every night Melissa makes up elaborate bedtime stories for her 5 year old daughter - always starring Billy Joel as the main character.
Ian Macallister
Business Development, Finance and HR
Ian brings a high level of expertise to our Business Development, Finance Operations and Human Resources. Prior to joining us, he spent thirteen years at Wells Fargo, where he held multiple finance and strategic roles. His experience spans everything from profitability technology and distressed debt portfolios to mergers and acquisitions. He has a BA in Architecture from Williams College and an MBA from UC Berkeley. Ian loves camping with his family in their vintage 60s Aristocrat trailer. Romantic side note: his wife is the first girl he met when he moved to California.
Simon Wynn
Engineering
Simon has an eclectic and impressive set of credentials. At SecureExchange, he handles all aspects of technology, software development and information security. When he was CTO at Devicescape, he created cloud-based WIFI services for telecommunications. At Dolby Labs, he pioneered their digital sound format. In Hollywood, he worked on two sound technologies that won Oscars for technical innovation. Simon earned a Bachelor of Science with honors in electronics and communications engineering from The Polytechnic of North London. He’s a massive fan of the Arsenal soccer team, the San Francisco Giants and Canadian power trio Rush.
