Shiliashki, who will also join the company’s board of directors, brings nearly three decades of industry expertise to his new role.
Prior to joining myPOS, Shiliashki served as an independent director at Swedish biometrics firm Fingerprint Cards and Crown Agents Bank.
He has also held leadership roles at industry giants including Goldman Sachs, PayPal, and Mastercard, complemented by his tenure as CEO of Dutch paytech PayU Global Payments.
Founded in 2012, myPOS offers merchants a suite of payment processing tools and solutions. It employs 500+ people and serves more than 200,000 enterprises across 30 European countries.
Shiliashki says he is joining myPOS at a “pivotal time in its development”. Recently, the company opened new sales offices in Italy and France, and says it is gearing up for another “wave of expansion”.
Last November, myPOS was purchased by US private equity firm Advent International in a deal that reportedly valued the company at approximately €500 million. Christo Georgiev, co-founder of myPOS and CEO at the time, left the firm.
The acquisition, coupled with Shiliashki’s appointment, leaves the company “well placed to grow” while sustaining its “differentiated business model and its competitive value proposition”, claims Laurent LeMoal, chairman of the board at myPOS.
