“Building a company that serves financial institutions requires discipline across the entire business,” said Walls. “Michael’s appointment is an important step in our organizational maturity. He brings the enterprise finance experience and fundraising expertise to help us secure growth capital, manage it responsibly, and build a financial foundation that supports our customers, our team, and our investors.”
Throughout his career, Day has helped structure, negotiate, and close more than $10 billion in total contract value. He has also helped two former organizations strengthen their financial operations and prepare for successful exits, with valuations ranging from approximately 7 to 12 times annual recurring revenue.
That experience includes improving reporting and controls, developing reliable forecasts, managing cash flow, evaluating financing options, and preparing management teams for investor and buyer due diligence.
“adapfin has built an ambitious platform, and my role is to help ensure the company has the capital and financial discipline to deliver on that opportunity,” said Day. “My priorities are clear: lead fundraising, establish reliable financial management, and give the leadership team the information it needs to make confident decisions as the business grows.”
The appointment strengthens adapfin’s organizational foundation as it brings Nucleus BankOS, its AI-native banking platform, to market.
