In a statement posted to LinkedIn, Nicholds says “it’s time for me to turn the page and start on a new chapter”.
Judopay provides solutions that enable merchants to accept payments across various digital channels, and has been led by the former Mastercard executive since 2018.
He assumed the additional title of managing director upon the company’s acquisition by Italian banking group Banca Sella’s open finance subsidiary, Fabrick, in August last year.
“And now with our new ‘parentco’, Banca Sella and Fabrick fully in place, supporting the business and fuelling it to reach new heights, plus new capabilities in orchestration and embedded finance, I feel it is time to move on,” Nicholds’ statement continues.
The statement concludes: “While I’m really excited about what’s next, I will always carry the lessons and experiences from Judopay with me. So looking forward to the next adventure – whatever and wherever that may be!”
Nicholds previously served as an independent non-executive director and advisor to Fabrick, then known as Vipera, before taking the helm at Judopay, according to LinkedIn.
Prior to this, he headed personal card operations for NatWest, and oversaw sales and marketing for Mastercard, before leaving to lead the European mobile business of rival network Visa.
Judopay was contacted by FinTech Futures for comment.
