Cordant has named Brendan Miller Chief Growth Officer, putting a go-to-market leader who has spent his career explaining complex payments infrastructure to the people who buy it in charge of how Cordant reaches the market.
Infrastructure is hard to sell because the buyer never sees it working. A bank or payment company buys it only when someone names the problem in the buyer's own words, shows what changes when it is solved, and carries that explanation consistently through every campaign, sales conversation and analyst briefing. That is the work Brendan has done for his whole career, and it is the work he now leads at Cordant.
With over 25-years in B2B and B2C marketing, he started in payments in product marketing at First Data and Vantiv, positioning processing products for operations teams that need proof before they change anything. At Forrester, as a principal analyst, he co-led the firm's research on digital commerce and payments, which meant building the market's explanation of where payments was heading and defending it in front of the institutions and vendors making those decisions. He then led global marketing at Rapyd and served as chief marketing officer at Runa, building the teams, messaging and pipeline that took payments businesses into new markets.
Rapyd is the part of that history closest to Cordant. All four of Cordant's founders, Eric Rosenthal, Lior Levit, Juan Jose Huezo and Sagi Ittah, came from Rapyd, where the business grew to more than $1 billion in revenue across more than 50 countries. Brendan ran marketing for that same global business as it expanded, so he has already told the story of payments infrastructure at that scale, to buyers in dozens of countries, alongside the people who built it.
Cordant is the command center for modern financial infrastructure. It sits above the systems a financial institution already runs, reconstructs each payment across every system that touched it, and checks what happened against what the institution's contracts and policies said should happen. It does not move money and holds no funds and no keys. Cordant raised an $8 million seed round in July 2026, co-led by Motive Partners and Oak HC/FT.
As Chief Growth Officer, Brendan owns Cordant's go-to-market: brand, positioning, content and pipeline. He works alongside Eric on the institutions Cordant serves.
If you run operations, finance or compliance at an institution that moves money through more than one system, Brendan wants to hear how your team finds out when those systems disagree. Request a demo and the conversation starts with him.
