Carwow Group has appointed Jeremiah Crider to the role of Chief Financial Officer. He will focus on driving financial excellence across the Group and building robust operational foundations as the company continues to scale at pace. Crider will be based in London, reporting to John Veichmanis, Chief Executive Officer.
Crider joins Carwow Group from Securitas, where he was European CFO, leading 200 finance personnel across Europe. Prior to that he spent three years at Deliveroo, most recently as VP, Finance for the Marketplace & Technology Functions, where he played a pivotal role in helping it grow before and after its listing on the London Stock Exchange. Crider spent the first 14 years of his career at US Retail behemoth, Walmart.
The appointment follows a US$52 million investment in Carwow in H2 2024, led by Bessemer Venture Partners, which joined existing institutional investors Accel, Balderton, Episode 1 and Vitruvian Partners. This investment is already accelerating Carwow’s expansion plans both in the UK and internationally. Carwow Group revenues grew by 55% in H2 2024, with nearly £1.8 billion-worth of cars listed in its daily online auctions in 2024 alone.
Jeremiah Crider said: “I’m very excited to be joining as CFO at such a pivotal time for the Carwow Group.
“Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to work with talented teams across Europe and I look forward to helping drive the next phase of growth across the UK, Germany and Spain, working with the rest of the Carwow Executive Team.”
Carwow Group’s Chief Executive Officer, John Veichmanis, added: “With a strong track record in dynamic, globally scaled businesses, Jeremiah brings outstanding financial leadership capabilities to the Group.
“His expertise will be invaluable as we strengthen our position as the online destination for car changing. I look forward to working with him to drive our vision forward.”
