Motorway has announced the appointment of its first ever chief financial officer as the outfit continues to grow at a rapid rate.

The used car marketplace has appointed Liz Kistruck, who joins the firm from fashion technology platform Lyst, where she held the same title.

Prior to that she spent 14 years with travel giant Expedia Group, where she held various titles including CFO for Hotels.com, CFO for Expedia for Business, as well as SVP Global Marketing Analytics.
