Hanson, who left HBOS last year, will be responsible for developing global marketing, CRM and ecommerce activities across Travelex's network of 800 stores in 25 regions worldwide.
Peter Jackson, CEO of Travelex, said: "Philip's experience of working with leading brands will be invaluable as we look to build the Travelex brand and strengthen our marketing and online activities, while developing closer relationships with all our customers through targeted communications."
Prior to an 11-year stint at HBOS, where he led the repositioning of the Halifax brand, Hanson was EMEA marketing director at Pizza Hut and global brand director at Johnnie Walker.
He remains a non-executive director of Goellet Wine Estates, a role he took up in April.
