“We strongly believe Laurent is the right CEO for the next stage of transformation and growth of Ingenico,” says Catherine Guillouard, Chairwoman and an independent supervisory board member.
“His extensive experience in enterprise management solutions, cloud-based services, and ecosystem enablement make him the ideal candidate to lead our organisation through its transformation to an integrated solutions focused leader in payments.”
“We are confident in his ability to drive growth and deliver exceptional value to our clients and partners. With Laurent at the helm, we are excited to continue innovating and transforming the payment industry, and we look forward to the successes that we will achieve together.”
