Synechron, Inc., one of the fastest-growing digital, business consulting & technology services providers based in New York, has announced the appointment of fintech marketing veteran George Ravich as Chief Marketing Officer.

“I’ve always sought to work with innovative companies that are pushing the edge of the envelope in order to offer the marketplace breakthrough solutions. Synechron is helping financial services firms tap into some of the most advanced technologies changing the world today, from blockchain to machine learning,” comments Ravich. 

In his role, Ravich will report directly to  Synechron CEO Faisal Husain and will be leading the company’s global marketing team, spearheading brand development, solution marketing and demand generation programs.

An industry veteran with more than 25 years of marketing experience, Ravich is a valuable addition to Synechron, which will benefit from his deep perspective on a wide range of marketing disciplines.
