Steer hired to expand finance function, accelerate growth and coordinate M&A activity for global payments company

Sokin, the global business payments provider, has appointed Tom Steer as Chief Financial Officer. Steer joins from FT Partners, where he was a vice president at the fintech focused investment bank. Based in London, Steer joins Sokin’s executive management team and reports to CEO Vroon Modgill.

The appointment comes during a concentrated period of capital activity. Sokin closed a $50 million Series B led by Prysm Capital in December 2025, valuing the business at $300 million, followed by a $100 million debt facility from Oxford Finance in January 2026. The combined $150 million positions Sokin to aggressively pursue their growth ambitions and remain opportunistic for potential acquisitions which could fast track their expansion.

Steer brings a wealth of fintech and payments experience. At FT Partners he advised on capital raises and mergers & acquisitions across the sector. Prior to that, Steer held finance leadership roles at the global digital remittance company, Zepz, where he helped scale the business from $1bn to $5bn through organic and inorganic initiatives.

At Sokin, his focus will be on developing the company’s capital strategy, overseeing any future acquisitions, and driving the finance function to support the rapid pace of growth in the business.

“Tom has a proven track record in scaling high-growth fintech businesses as well as deep expertise in financial strategy. He brings the strategic insight as well as the M&A and capital raising background we need to accelerate our international expansion and optimise our capital structure,” said Vroon Modgill, founder and CEO of Sokin.

“I am excited to be joining Sokin at such a key point in the company’s evolution. The potential for the business is clear in what is a huge and underserved cross-border payments market. The capital raised gives us the firepower to continue our upward trajectory and double down in our key growth markets, particularly in the US,” said Tom Steer, CFO of Sokin.

Sokin’s revenue has grown 100% year-over-year and increased eightfold since 2022. The company provides global payments, multi-currency accounts and treasury management to businesses across more than 170 countries. Its investors include Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital, Prysm Capital, Watershed Ventures, and former PayPal executives Gary Marino and Mark Britto.

Before his time at FT Partners, Steer held positions at WorldRemit, AMV BBDO and Deloitte. He has a post-graduate degree in Mergers & Acquisitions from Imperial Business School and is an Associated Chartered Accountant (ACA) qualified through the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW).

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

The post BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BlackRock is steering $185 billion worth of model portfolios deeper into US stocks and artificial intelligence. The decision came this week as the asset manager adjusted its entire model suite, increasing its equity allocation and dumping exposure to international developed markets. The firm now sits 2% overweight on stocks, after money moved between several of its biggest exchange-traded funds. This wasn’t a slow shuffle. Billions flowed across multiple ETFs on Tuesday as BlackRock executed the realignment. The iShares S&P 100 ETF (OEF) alone brought in $3.4 billion, the largest single-day haul in its history. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) collected $2.3 billion, while the iShares US Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF (DYNF) added nearly $2 billion. The rebalancing triggered swift inflows and outflows that realigned investor exposure on the back of performance data and macroeconomic outlooks. BlackRock raises equities on strong US earnings The model updates come as BlackRock backs the rally in American stocks, fueled by strong earnings and optimism around rate cuts. In an investment letter obtained by Bloomberg, the firm said US companies have delivered 11% earnings growth since the third quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, earnings across other developed markets barely touched 2%. That gap helped push the decision to drop international holdings in favor of American ones. Michael Gates, lead portfolio manager for BlackRock’s Target Allocation ETF model portfolio suite, said the US market is the only one showing consistency in sales growth, profit delivery, and revisions in analyst forecasts. “The US equity market continues to stand alone in terms of earnings delivery, sales growth and sustainable trends in analyst estimates and revisions,” Michael wrote. He added that non-US developed markets lagged far behind, especially when it came to sales. This week’s changes reflect that position. The move was made ahead of the Federal…
