Tyan has been involved with the firm since 2020, assisting CEO and co-founder Nicolas Benady and co-founder Nicolas Saison with “strategic decisions and fundraising” as supervisory board chairman.
Benady describes Tyan as the “missing piece we were looking for to accelerate our growth”.
In his new role, Swan says Tyan will manage “central functions” such as human resources, data, strategy, and finance. Swan also states that he will “work closely with all teams to ensure the execution of strategic objectives, monitor performance, strengthen internal collaboration, and implement organisation-wide processes”.
Tyan is a seasoned fintech entrepreneur, having founded several companies including Marble, a real-time decision engine for fraud and compliance; Numeral, a payment technology provider; and PayPlug, France’s first payment solution catering to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).
“His analytical skills, insight, and ability to lead effectively are exactly what Swan needs for this new phase,” says Benady, with the company planning to accelerate its international expansion efforts.
Founded in 2019, Swan, which claims to process more than €1 billion in monthly transactions for over 150 companies, specialises in embedded banking services, offering solutions for firms to embed accounts, cards, IBANs, and payment capabilities. In 2023, the fintech bagged a €37 million Series B funding round.
