Fast-growing fintech Genesis to create 40 jobs in Dublin

Speaking to The Irish Times, chief financial officer Billy Morris said there is the potential for many more roles to come on stream in the coming years locally.

Genesis, which last month raised $200 million (€184 million) in funding in a round led by Tiger Global Management, appointed Mr Morris to establish operations in Dublin last year. The Dubliner formally led scaling efforts at a number of high-growth tech companies, including Thousand Eyes (part of Cisco), and Twilio.

He is charged with establishing Dublin as the company’s European service hub with a number of functions to be based here, including sales, accounting, finance and data and analytics. The company currently employs 10 people here.

Mr Morris said that as well as roles in business operations, he is also keen to build out the technical engineering team locally.
