9fin Appoints First Chief Revenue Officer

9fin, the AI-native platform for global debt markets, has hired Amit Lalwani as its first Chief Revenue Officer to lead a unified global revenue strategy across sales, account management, client success and revenue operations.

The hire comes at a defining moment for the company. In the past twelve months, 9fin has raised $170m at a $1.3B valuation, launched AI Chat and Research Grid — bringing generative AI directly into credit workflows — and expanded into Latin America and Asia-Pacific. Over 350 leading institutions now rely on 9fin for their most important credit decisions, with the company sustaining multiple consecutive years of 100% ARR growth, and its US business outpacing every other market.

Based in New York and reporting directly to CEO and co-founder Steven Hunter, Amit will focus on accelerating the company’s commercial growth to establish 9fin as the number one AI platform for global debt markets. His mandate includes building an integrated global sales and revenue strategy, creating high-performing sales teams and strengthening pipeline execution.

Amit brings more than two decades of proven leadership experience within high-growth financial technology organizations. He joins 9fin from Intapp, where he served as Vice President of Financial Services. In this role, he spearheaded the company's global growth strategy and oversaw sales and account management teams across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC regions. During his eight-year tenure at Intapp, Amit successfully scaled the financial services business, achieving a 22x increase in client acquisition and a 25x growth in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR). Prior to Intapp, he spent over 15 years at Dealogic, holding various executive leadership positions across enterprise sales, product development, and global account management.

Steven Hunter, CEO, commented: “Amit brings a rare combination of understanding our market and customers, and having scaled commercial organisations to hundreds of millions in ARR. Our vision is to be the number one AI platform in the debt markets, and Amit is here to build the commercial machine to get us there.”

Amit Lalwani, CRO, commented: "9fin possesses the perfect combination of cutting-edge technology, elite talent, and proprietary data to spearhead the AI-driven transformation of global debt markets. It is incredibly rare to find a platform so deeply embedded across the entire credit ecosystem — from premier investment banks and asset managers to law firms and advisors — while still being primed for exponential growth. The commercial runway ahead of us is enormous, and I am thrilled to lead the charge as we accelerate into our next hyper-growth chapter."
