This week, Flywire announced several strategic leadership appointments designed to accelerate growth, enhance operational excellence, and strengthen its position across the Education, Travel, B2B, and Healthcare verticals. The changes include the appointment of David King as Chief Product Officer, Allison MacLeod as Chief Commercial Officer, and the establishment of a co-president structure for Global Education.
"These appointments reflect Flywire's commitment to aligning our leadership structure with our strategic priorities and creating the organizational clarity we believe is needed to scale our business," said Mike Massaro, Flywire CEO. "By establishing a critical commercial function and deepening our product leadership across all verticals, we are positioning Flywire to execute with greater speed, consistency, and impact—while making it easier for our teams to win new business and deliver exceptional outcomes for our clients."
David King Appointed Chief Product Officer and Co-President of Education
David King has been appointed Chief Product Officer, where he will continue to lead Flywire's software product vision and strategy across Education, Travel, B2B, and Healthcare. In this role, King will maintain a sharper focus on delivering measurable value for customers, scaling software products alongside business growth, and supporting Flywire's long-term strategic objectives.
King has also been named Co-President of Global Education, alongside Sharon Butler, where he will concentrate on accelerating Student Financial Software (SFS) adoption and impact in priority markets including the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia. This structure brings King's deep customer insight and software expertise directly into the execution and growth strategy for Flywire's Higher Education business.
During this leadership transition, King will continue to serve as Chief Technology Officer while Flywire recruits a new CTO. He will also oversee Security on an interim basis while the company conducts a search for a Head of Risk and Security. Technical Support and Implementation will continue to report through the CTO office during this period.
Sharon Butler Named Co-President of Global Education
Sharon Butler has been appointed Co-President of Global Education, where she will continue to lead go-to-market execution and drive customer outcomes on a global scale. In her expanded role, Butler will focus on deepening strategic partnerships across the higher education ecosystem and ensuring Flywire delivers exceptional value to institutions, students, and partners worldwide.
The co-president structure in Education reflects Flywire's commitment to combining software innovation and customer-centric execution to maintain its leadership position in the higher education market.
"These changes position us to deliver even greater value to our clients while creating new opportunities for our teams to collaborate, innovate, and grow," said Massaro. "I'm confident that Allison, David, and Sharon will help us turn our strategic vision into tangible results that benefit our clients, our partners, and our business."
Allison MacLeod Appointed Chief Commercial Officer
In her new role as Chief Commercial Officer, Allison MacLeod will unite Corporate and Vertical Marketing, Product Marketing, Revenue Operations, and a newly created Pricing & Contracting team under a single commercial organization. This integrated structure is designed to drive awareness and demand generation, optimize product positioning and packaging across all verticals and regions, establish consistent pricing and deal structures, and scale pipeline management, forecasting, and commercial performance measurement.
MacLeod will work in close partnership with Flywire's Vertical teams, Business Operations, Product, Finance, and Legal to achieve our goals of translating strategy into focused execution, enabling faster decision-making, and ensuring consistent value capture across the business.
