Plaid hires first chief financial officer before possible IPO
Plaid has hired its first chief financial officer, as it plans to go public after a failed sale to Visa two years ago.

Hart told the Financial Times, “I’m certainly going to make sure that we have an organization, particularly from the finance perspective, that has a robust set of processes, procedures, compliance [so] that we can be in a position if [an IPO] is the right milestone for us to take a step forward on.”
