Caroline Williams joins the board following the sale of Easy Crypto.
Tax Traders and Taxi chair Caroline Williams.
Former Easy Crypto chair Caroline Williams has joined the board of local fintech firms Tax Traders and Taxi.
Williams has taken up the role of chair, following the sale of Easy Crypto to an Australian-based rival.
Tax Traders and Taxi are both owned by Grey Street Investments, founded by Auckland couple Josh and Nicola Taylor. Both companies use tax pooling to ease cashflow challenges for small businesses.
Nicola Taylor said Williams brought a wealth of experience in governance, strategic leadership, and growth across a broad range of industries.
“Her extensive experience and proven track record of adding value to innovative companies throughout her career aligns perfectly with the long-term goals for Tax Traders and Taxi as well as any future ventures,” she said.
Williams said she had "deep respect" for the way the Taylors operated their businesses as a force for social good.
“I’m pleased to be joining this group of companies as they continue to consolidate their position as New Zealand’s most innovative tax technology provider. With the backing of Simplicity’s Private Equity Fund, I’m equally excited to support the growth of Taxi, which is a groundbreaking product that addresses a very real need for smaller Kiwi business.”
Willams is also chair of Quantifi Photonics. She has previously held legal and executive roles at companies such as Telecom, Deloitte, Bayleys, Pie Funds Management and National Infrastructure Funding and Financing.
