Infinian appoints Chief Growth Officer

Real-time credit data and insights, Infinian has announced the appointment of Carl Riches as its new Chief Growth Officer.

Riches will spearhead Infinian’s next phase of revenue growth as it builds on the momentum generated under CEO Emma Steeley, hired in September 2025. He will also be responsible for deploying Infinian’s increasing suite of solutions, including identifying and integrating differentiated data available in the market to address evolving client needs. He joins from the leading credit reference bureau Equifax, where he spent nearly 15 years in a range of senior commercial roles. In his most recent Sales Director role, Riches built and led cross-functional teams driving new business across lending, fraud prevention, and debt management.

Throughout his career, Riches has worked with several Tier One banking and alternative finance clients and collaborated with bureaus across multiple territories to expand Equifax’s European presence. Notably, he worked with CEO Emma Steeley when she was at AccountScore (acquired by Equifax) on the world’s first rollout of open banking.

Emma Steeley, CEO of Infinian, said “I’ve worked with Carl in the past and I’ve seen first-hand the impact he can deliver. His deep understanding of credit data, combined with a strong commercial track record, makes him exactly the right person to help scale Infinian. As the market evolves and demand for more real-time, data-driven decision-making grows, Carl will play a key role in accelerating our momentum and expanding our impact with clients.”

Greg Cox, Co-founder and CEO of Quint Group, said “Infinian is operating in a market undergoing fundamental change, as greater data access is reshaping how credit decisions are made. Carl brings a rare combination of deep market understanding and commercial leadership, which will be critical as we continue to scale the business. His appointment marks an important step as we build Infinian into a category-defining business within Quint.”
