Marqeta Announces Visa Veteran Mike Milotich as New CFO, Raises Expectations for Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Following 10 years at Visa, Mike Milotich will join Marqeta as Chief Financial Officer, overseeing the next chapter of Marqeta’s scale and growth

Marqeta (NASDAQ: MQ), the global modern card issuing platform, announced the appointment of Mike Milotich as the company’s new Chief Financial Officer, effective February 22, 2022.

Milotich joins Marqeta following a decade-long tenure at Visa in various financial leadership positions, most recently serving as Senior Vice President of Investor Relations and Corporate Finance. He has more than 20 years of experience in corporate finance, the majority of which falls in payments and financial services. He has also held leadership positions at American Express and PayPal.

Tripp Faix, the company’s outgoing Chief Financial Officer, has decided to step down to spend more time with family after three and a half years in his role. Mr. Faix will continue in an advisory role until March 31, 2022, to ensure a smooth transition of the CFO position at Marqeta and participate in Marqeta’s upcoming conference call to discuss its fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2021 financial results, set for March 9, 2022.

“Having spent the last ten years at Visa, I had a front row seat to the rise of Marqeta and the innovations they’ve opened up globally with their modern card issuing platform,” said Mike Milotich. “After spending time with Jason and the executive team, I was impressed by both how well they’d scaled to date and the massive opportunity in global money movement that lies ahead of them. I look forward to joining the team and helping to guide the next chapter of the company’s growth.”

“After a thorough executive search, it was clear that Mike’s deep payments experience makes him an excellent fit for Marqeta. He has a keen appreciation for the possibilities in front of us as a company. We look forward to welcoming him to the Marqeta community,” said Jason Gardner, Marqeta’s Founder and CEO. “On behalf of our board, leadership team, and all Marqetans, I want to thank Tripp for his tireless dedication to Marqeta and the instrumental role he had in putting a corporate foundation in place that guided us through our IPO and two major private fundraising rounds. He will always be a friend, and we wish him all the best in his future endeavors.”

Preliminary Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Results

In its third-quarter earnings release dated November 10, 2021, Marqeta provided financial guidance for net revenue and adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2021. In light of higher-than-expected processing volumes, the Company expects to outperform the previously announced guidance for both its net revenue and adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter. The Company will release its actual results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2021 on March 9, 2022.

The preliminary estimated financial performance for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2021 discussed above is subject to the completion of our financial closing procedures. Our management is responsible for these closing procedures. Our independent registered public accounting firm has not audited, reviewed or performed any procedures with respect to the accompanying preliminary estimated financial performance, and accordingly does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto. Our estimated preliminary financial performance could differ materially from our actual results of operations due to the completion of our financial closing procedures, final adjustments and other developments that may arise between now and the time at which we issue our audited consolidated financial statements.
