Mollie is thrilled to announce our new Chief Legal Compliance Officer, Célie Verstelle. Célie has been promoted from the position of General Counsel and is now taking on a new compliance responsibility in her role. In addition to this new title and promotion, Célie has also become a member of our Management Board.

Célie joined us on April 1st from private practice Borsboom & Hamm. Prior to this she worked as General Counsel and Compliance Officer for Exact. She began her legal career after obtaining a law degree from Erasmus University Rotterdam and spent the last 18 years between private practice and in-house.

“I am very excited to add further value to this fast-paced and energetic company, helping to facilitate our growth. The great team atmosphere at Mollie makes it a wonderful place to work. Our ambitious plans for the future make me eager to ensure we have the right legal and compliance framework in place to ensure we are successful. I’m looking forward to being part of the management board for what we hope will become the most loved payment service provider in the world.”

We’ve been expanding our leadership team throughout the year with the appointments of Shane Happach (CEO), Rogier Schoute (Chief Product Officer), Julien Cordonnier (Chief Operations Officer), Susan Wilson (Chief Human Resources Officer) and Joe Katz (Chief Financial Officer).
