With this appointment, Remitly is increasing the size of its Board from 10 to 11 directors. In connection with his appointment, Mr. Messinger also joins the Talent and Compensation Committee of the Board.

“We are thrilled to welcome Adam to Remitly’s Board at such a pivotal moment for the company,” said Sebastian Gunningham, Chief Executive Officer. “Adam’s experience as a public company director at New Relic, combined with his deep technical expertise and experience scaling world-class technologies, will be instrumental as we expand beyond global money movement to better serve our customers with a broader suite of financial services.”
