Three decades in commercial banking and payments, and a decade building and scaling North American businesses for financial technology firms, now focused on assisting regional and super-regional banks launch new digital offerings in weeks and modernize progressively, with controlled risk.
Jim Logan joins XYB and has been appointed Americas Head of Strategic Sales, leading our North American go-to-market for the Adaptive Financial Infrastructure (AFI) Platform and its Solutions.
Jim brings more than 30 years of experience across commercial banking, payments, compliance, and trade, including seventeen years at JPMorgan and four at Deutsche Bank. For the last decade he has built and scaled Americas’ businesses for financial technology firms expanding within the North American markets.
His focus at XYB is expanding our presence with North American regional and super-regional banks. These institutions are under real pressure to compete on product velocity and customer experience while continuing to run core systems built for a different set of demands. The AFI Platform is designed to close that gap: a 10-week time to value, then modernize the underlying infrastructure progressively, rather than committing to a single multi-year transformation program.
“Jim has spent his career on both sides of this problem, first inside two of the largest banks in the world, then helping technology firms earn the trust of North American financial institutions. That perspective is rare, and it is exactly what our customers need as they think about how to modernize without stopping everything else they are doing. We are thrilled to have him join our organization at this important time in our industry.”
Derek Joyce, CEO and Co-Founder, XYB
“What compelled me to join XYB is that the platform is built around the very material challenges that financial institutions are increasingly facing in today’s markets. Specifically, regional and super-regional institutions want to launch competitive products this year, not after a multi-year, risk-intensive replatforming initiative. Bringing them a credible path to move faster, capitalize on revenue opportunities, and modernize progressively, in a risk controlled setting that protects the franchise, is a prudent strategy to embrace.”

Jim has served on several industry advisory boards, including Commercial Payments International and, more recently, the BAFT Payments and Trade Committee, where he contributed to ISO 20022 migration and trade digitalization initiatives.
