Mollie is delighted to be welcoming two more amazing people to our senior leadership team. Susan Wilson will be our Chief Human Resources Officer, while Joe Katz is our new Chief Financial Officer.

We are excited to announce that all Mollie customers in France can now activate and enjoy Klarna’s ‘Payer en 3 fois sans frais’ payment method. Mollie is one of the first fintechs to move forward with Klarna in France – and the first online payment solution to integrate it into their offering.

In this fast-moving world of payments and fintech, Mollie was delighted to be named in this year’s report as a PSP that has thrived and seized the opportunities presented in online retail and marketplaces.

On 4 June, Mollie will be running for charity. Raising money for Justdiggit, an organisation that helps make the world a greener place. Want to donate? You can!

Earlier this month, Chief Commercial Officer at Mollie Ken Serdons spoke to Sunniva Kolostyak, a FinTech Reporter for IBS Intelligence about Mollie in 2021.

Mollie has appointed Julien Cordonnier, as its Chief Operations Officer. Julien joins from Uber where he held the position of Head of EMEA Community Operations.

Mollie has appointed Rogier Schoute as Chief Product Officer. Schoute joins from Booking.com, where he led payments product development for the past two years, but first got to know Mollie during his time leading global partnerships for Klarna.

Schoute joined Klarna as a summer intern in 2010, when the company was five years old, employed roughly 120 people and was in the early stages of its international expansion. During his 8.5 years with Klarna, Schoute predominantly focused on payment product development, becoming Director of Core Payments in 2015, then VP Product Payments in 2016. Taking over Klarna’s global partnerships organisation in 2017, Schoute left in January 2019, having helped the company scale to more than US $29bn in gross merchandise volume and US $627 million in operating revenue.

“I first met Mollie in 2018 and was immediately impressed by the company’s team, culture and technology,” says Schoute. “Mollie’s products are beautifully crafted and elegantly simple, which is why both Mollie and its customers have grown so impressively during the past few years. But what’s really exciting, and why I’m thrilled to be joining, is Mollie’s potential. Its team, culture and technology is even stronger than it was three years ago. It has the backing of TCV and a refreshed board that’s ambitious to grow. And its deep, trusted relationships with 110,000+ merchants provides the perfect platform for product development with huge potential across a variety of innovative offerings.”

“We’re delighted to be welcoming Rogier to the team – he’s such an important hire and we couldn’t be happier to have him on board,” says Shane Happach, CEO, Mollie. “Our B-round was all about accelerating geographic growth and investing in product and engineering. In February we announced our expansion into the UK. In April, Rogier joins us to lead the development of the next generation of Mollie’s payments and financial services offering. Rogier’s unique experience in both enabling and managing rapid growth will be of critical importance to Mollie.”
