Céline Bayer and Nicolas Vigier form the latest additions to the firm’s c-suite, joining as CTO and CFO respectively.
Bayer has been tasked with automating and scaling Lemonway’s “internal technologies and processes”, as well as enhancing customer service through the “opportunities offered by artificial intelligence”.
She previously performed the role for both AI surveillance software firm Veesion and payment infrastructure firm Mangopay, after heading technology project orchestration for French sports newspaper L’Equipe.
Meanwhile, Vigier has been brought in to manage Lemonway’s finance and HR departments, having previously served as CFO for merchant payment solution Payplug and Dalenys Payment.
Prior to this, he spent eight years within the finance department of payment acceptance and services provider Ingenico Group, and ascended to the position of CFO of its enterprise business line in 2018.
Antoine Orsini, CEO of Lemonway, says the appointments have “enabled us to reach a new stage in our growth”, with both to support its investment towards “improving the security and efficiency of the solution we offer” and “enhancing the effectiveness of our tools and processes”.
Founded in 2007 in Paris, Lemonway provides marketplaces and alternative finance platforms with a solution offering features such as wallet management, payment processing, and third-party payment capabilities within a regulated KYC and AML framework.
The firm claims to serve over 400 marketplaces, manage more than 1.3 million wallets, and to have raised €50 million to date.
