The managing director of a supply chain financing company has joined the advisory board of the Alliance Manchester Business School.
Daniel Shuttleworth, who used to attend the school, leads strategic initiatives within Greensill, a fintech providing working capital finance to businesses and individuals all over the world.
He was previously global head of portfolio integration with the firm which he joined in 2017 and employs more than 1,100 staff, including more than 350 in the North West.
The appointment comes after Greensill donated £2.5m to the University of Manchester in 2019 to drive the Fintech agenda in the region.
Mr Shuttleworth said: "I am very passionate about Manchester, the city region and the business school, and am really looking forward to taking up the role.
"I am really looking forward to further building on the exciting and emerging fintech industry in Manchester and the UK, while also leveraging my international connections and experience to help AMBS maintain momentum at the forefront of the fintech revolution. I can’t wait to get stuck in."
Professor Fiona Devine, head of Alliance Manchester Business School, added: "We are delighted to have Daniel join our board and bring with him his fantastic knowledge of the fast emerging and exciting fintech industry.
"It is also great to stay connected to our MBA alumni in such a way. We very much look forward to working with him and drawing on his skills and experience."
Greensill was founded a decade ago by Lex Greensill, also an MBA alumnus at AMBS.
