Eftsure has strengthened its global leadership team with three senior appointments, adding depth across revenue, sales, and partnership development as the company expands across North America, ANZ, and international markets.
Karthik Manimozhi joins as Global President, Andy Thiss as Senior Vice President, ANZ, and Nick Hughes as Senior Vice President, Global Partnerships and Alliances.
The appointments follow a period of significant expansion, including the acquisition of Sis ID and the launch of Eftsure's global enterprise solution across Europe, the United States, and APAC. Together, the three bring experience spanning SAP, Kyriba, FIS, Docusign, Anaplan, and American Express.
Karthik Manimozhi: Global President
Karthik Manimozhi joins as Global President, with responsibility for driving Eftsure's Growth and International Markets, overseeing go-to-market strategy, global revenue, marketing and branding, field operations, and partner ecosystem development.
Based in the US, he brings more than two decades of experience across enterprise software, payments, and fintech, with prior leadership roles at SAP, Dell EMC, Kyriba, and MindBridge. He is widely recognized for his perspective on how AI, SaaS, and emerging agentic workflows are reshaping financial operations and decision-making.
"I've spent 20+ years listening to CFOs — not the boardroom version, the 11pm version," Manimozhi said. "The one that starts with: 'We just wired $2M to the wrong account.'"
He frames the core challenge facing finance leaders around three questions: Am I paying the right vendor? The right amount? At the right time?
"They're not accounts payable issues," he said. "They're the defining control questions for the AI-era CFO."
Manimozhi's career has been built at the intersection of enterprise systems, payments, and global growth at scale. At SAP, he led international markets across Europe and the Middle East before moving into acquisition-led growth initiatives in North America, and later built a billion-dollar indirect channel ecosystem as Chief of Ecosystem for SAP Americas. Earlier in his career at Dell EMC, he held leadership roles focused on enterprise customers and large-scale technology deployments.
As EVP of Global Sales at Kyriba, he led the team that tripled revenue and increased the company's valuation sixfold to $1.2B within four years. He later served as President and COO of a SaaS platform that reached a $1 billion valuation following its public listing in Australia. Most recently, as Chief Growth Officer at MindBridge, a Forbes Top 50 AI platform, he drove enterprise adoption of AI-powered financial risk intelligence, helping finance teams move from reactive controls to proactive, intelligence-led decisioning.
His appointment comes as automation accelerates across finance, shifting the role of the CFO from operational oversight to strategic performance leadership.
"Speed without accuracy is just faster failure," he said.
With more than $120 trillion in B2B payments lacking a universal standard for vendor verification, Manimozhi points to identity as the system's primary gap.
"Vendor fraud isn't an edge case. It's structural."
Eftsure is building a global vendor identity network embedded across enterprise systems, banks, and payment rails, enabling a new model where AI-driven execution is governed by trust before transactions occur.
"This is not another point solution," he said. "It's financial trust infrastructure — foundational to empowering the CFO to run an autonomous, high-performance finance organization."
Andy Thiss: Senior Vice President, ANZ
Andy Thiss joins as Senior Vice President, ANZ, leading Eftsure's commercial team across Australia and New Zealand. Australia-based, he brings more than 20 years of sales and executive leadership experience in financial services and enterprise SaaS, with senior roles at Anaplan, Docusign, and American Express across the ANZ and APAC region. Andy has a strong track record for driving growth in the businesses he leads, and he has a passion for helping finance leaders navigate complexity while strengthening key financial business metrics.
Payment redirection fraud cost Australian businesses $167 million in 2025, a 9.3% increase on the prior year. Across the Tasman, supply chain exploitation and third-party vulnerabilities rank among the most significant cyber threats facing New Zealand organizations. What Thiss is focused on is closing the gap between that risk and the controls finance teams have in place:
"Finance teams are under pressure to move quickly. But speed without verification is exactly what attackers rely on."
His appointment strengthens Eftsure's ANZ commercial capability in a market where its customer base includes some of Australia's and New Zealand's largest enterprises, universities, and government organizations.
Nick Hughes: Senior Vice President, Global Partnerships and Alliances
Nick Hughes joins as Senior Vice President, Global Partnerships and Alliances, focused on building Eftsure's partner ecosystem in the United States. US-based, he brings more than 15 years of experience in partnership and channels leadership in financial services, built largely across FIS and its predecessor and affiliated companies — among them Mercury, Vantiv, Worldpay, and GoCart.
Business email compromise remains one of the most financially damaging cyber threats facing US organizations. The FBI's annual cybercrime report recorded $3.05 billion in BEC losses — a 10% increase on the prior year and the second-highest crime category by losses in 2025. The partner network Hughes is building extends Eftsure's verification reach into the platforms and workflows where finance teams already operate, making vendor verification part of how organizations make payments rather than a separate step.
"The partnerships we're building are about making verification accessible across the ecosystems where finance teams already work. The case for that has never been stronger."
The background Hughes brings in enterprise payments infrastructure is directly relevant: FIS and its predecessor companies sit at the center of how enterprise payments flow globally, and partnership relationships at that level shape how verification capability reaches organizations at scale.
Building the team for the next phase
"Karthik, Andy, and Nick each bring the kind of depth and market experience that matters for where Eftsure is going," says Jon Soldan, CEO at Eftsure.
"Karthik brings a global perspective on how finance leaders think about payment risk. Andy strengthens our execution in a market where we have strong momentum. And Nick builds the partnerships that extend our reach. Together, they make us significantly better equipped to deliver on our mission."
Eftsure safeguards more than $288B in B2B payments annually, with 85% of new customers' vendors verified instantly at onboarding.
