Checkout.com has announced changes to its leadership team as it prepares its strategy to bolster US expansion and take on Stripe
In Brief:
- Former CFO and COO, Céline Dufétel, has been appointed president and COO of Checkout.com
- Previously SVP in corporate finance and strategy, Nirupam Sinha has also taken on an expanded role as CFO
- These leadership changes are the latest development in Checkout’s US expansion plans, which hope to capitalise on the US’ rapidly evolving digital finance landscape
What does this mean?
CFO at the time of Checkout.com’s January 2022 fundraise, Dufétel stated: "We have long-faced substantial demand to serve the US market, and with our Series D we're doubling down on our commitment to scaling our platform, partnerships and products for customers here […] We're looking to help our US customers grow domestically and internationally, and to help our non-US customers expand into the market here. We're excited about the potential, and expect our North American employee base to grow by 200% this year alone."
