REDWOOD CITY, CALIF. – September 16, 2021 – Bluevine, the leading provider of innovative financial services for small businesses, today announced the appointment of David Quinn as its new Chief Financial Officer. In this position, Quinn will lead Bluevine’s financial functions helping accelerate strategic growth at the company. He will report to Eyal Lifshitz, CEO and co-founder of Bluevine.
“Ensuring Bluevine’s continued financial growth and success is critical to fulfilling our mission in supporting small businesses,” said Eyal Lifshitz, CEO and co-founder of Bluevine. “We are thrilled to welcome David to the Bluevine team. His deep financial acumen and experience in the banking industry will help scale our business and take us to the next level, while ensuring our customers are getting the best tailored experience possible.”
Quinn brings over 25 years of global knowledge in the banking and financial services industry.
