Chris Wilmot

Chief Financial Officer Medius

Last Reviewed: September 27, 2026

Executive Summary

Chris Wilmot is Chief Financial Officer of Medius, the provider of accounts payable automation and wider spend management software, a role he took up in August 2025. Based in London and reporting to chief executive Jim Lucier, he oversees the company’s financial strategy. He arrived with more than two decades of finance experience, the most recent six years as CFO of Qualitest Group, and earlier CFO roles at Clarion Events and BT Global Services. There is a neat symmetry to the appointment: Medius sells to finance departments, and its CFO is also expected to advocate for the customers and fellow CFOs who buy its products.

Career Highlights

• Appointed Chief Financial Officer of Medius in August 2025, announced from London on 12 August 2025.
• Reports to Medius CEO Jim Lucier and oversees the company’s financial strategy and long-term financial health.
• Served six years as Chief Financial Officer of Qualitest Group immediately before Medius.

Professional Journey

Wilmot’s career has been spent in finance leadership in internationally distributed businesses. Medius describes more than two decades of experience in analytics and global business strategy, and Raconteur reports that he has held finance leadership roles across the UK, Australia and the US, in both corporate and private-equity-backed companies, with experience spanning organic growth, acquisitions and value creation. He has said that living and working overseas changed his perspective from being UK-focused to thinking much more globally.

His CFO roles include BT Global Services and Clarion Events. He then spent six years as Chief Financial Officer of Qualitest Group. Across these positions, Medius says, he led both organic growth and acquisition-driven expansion, with particular expertise in strategic integration and financial stewardship within globally distributed organisations.

Medius announced his appointment as Chief Financial Officer on 12 August 2025, presenting it as coming at a time of strategic expansion and product innovation. Its CEO, Jim Lucier, said Wilmot joined “at a pivotal moment in our growth” as the company scaled globally. Wilmot’s brief covers Medius’ financial strategy and long-term health, value creation and operational excellence, and advocacy for the finance teams and CFOs who make up the company’s core customer base. He described Medius as bringing intelligence and autonomy to the core of finance operations.

In a Raconteur interview in September 2026 he said that he has enjoyed every finance role he has held, and that helping people develop, watching members of his team grow, earn promotions and become finance leaders themselves, is one of the most rewarding parts of the job.
