Announced via a post on LinkedIn, Lawrence says he is stepping back from the business he co-founded in 2019 with Tom Greenwood (CEO) and Steffen Vollert (COO) to “spend more time with my family and explore new opportunities that align with my passions”.
While reflecting on his time at the firm, Lawrence highlights the “importance of balance,” stating that “success is not just about growth metrics; it’s about maintaining a work/life balance – a lesson I’m embracing as I take this next step”.
In Lawrence’s role as Volt CGO, he oversaw the enterprise’s global sales and marketing strategies.
A serial entrepreneur, Lawrence founded PCN Capital, a fintech consulting and recruitment agency, in 2009 before starting Volt.
Although stepping back from daily operations in fintech, Lawrence will remain active in the industry. He is an investor in several tech companies, including Ekko, Xolvis, TruRating, and Oxla, and serves on the advisory board of the Merchant Risk Council, a global non-profit focused on e-commerce payments and fraud prevention.
Lawrence’s announcement follows a busy period for Volt, wrapping up a $60 million Series B round, appointing former Stripe Europe CEO Matt Henderson as a special advisor to its board, and, most recently, securing an EMI license from the FCA in February.
