Episode Six (E6), a leading global provider of enterprise-grade payment processing and ledger infrastructure, today announced the appointment of Brian Muse-McKenney as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO), reporting to E6’s CEO and Co-Founder John Mitchell.

As CRO, Muse-McKenney will bring his deep knowledge of the payments industry and global experience in Asia, Europe and North America to drive E6’s global growth and expansion of the customer base as the company enters its next phase of accelerated growth. Muse-McKenney will also help enhance E6’s digital and marketing strategy to build upon the company’s existing global footprint and success.

Prior to joining E6, Muse-McKenney served as Chief Business Officer, HSBC Platforms and as Chief Innovation Officer, HSBC Global Payments Solutions, where he built out next-generation payments platforms and propositions for businesses and institutions. Muse-McKenney also formerly served as the Chief Executive of PayMe from HSBC, where he first partnered with E6 and where he led PayMe to become Hong Kong’s leading e-wallet provider.

“As one of our trusted partners and long-time customers, we are excited to officially welcome Brian as E6’s first-ever CRO,” Mitchell said. “With his global experience, in-depth knowledge of our business and deep understanding of the challenges that banks and companies face in the payments space, Brian will help us reach new heights in expanding our footprint and helping banks and other organizations modernize with our flexible, cloud-native TRITIUM® platform.”

Muse-McKenney’s long-standing partnership with E6 also included serving as a Non-Executive Director of E6, from 2020 through June 2023, a position he held after HSBC led the Series A investment round in E6.

“As an early adopter of the TRITIUM® platform, I saw firsthand the power and potential of E6’s modern technology,” Muse-McKenney said. “I know from experience that payments modernization, and the desire to create compelling customer propositions, are pressing needs for banks, fintechs and brands everywhere. Joining E6 as CRO, I am excited to be in the position to solve those needs for customers all around the world.”

Muse-McKenney’s appointment closely follows E6’s recent $48 million Series C financing, and to date, the company has raised nearly $100 million. For more information, visit www.EpisodeSix.com.
