Niall Mac an tSionnaigh, who has served as SumUp Limited’s COO for the past two-and-a-half years, has been named as the new CEO of the Dublin-based unit. Before joining SumUp, he held a number of senior roles at LinkedIn and Deloitte.
Meanwhile, Alastair Nolan, a former Morgan Stanley exec and SumUp Group’s CFO for Europe since May, will take on the role of head of finance for SumUp Limited. Jessica Cotta, who began her nine-year tenure at SumUp as a customer experience intern in Brazil, has also been named as SumUp Limited’s new chief risk officer (CRO).
Gareth Walsh, the former CEO of the Irish entity from May 2020 to July 2023, has transitioned to a non-executive director role on the board. Siona Meghen has also been named as an independent non-executive director.
Additionally, Claire Gillanders, who has been with SumUp since 2020, has been promoted to head of compliance for the EU after serving as head of operational risk for the past two years.
SumUp, which recently bagged €1.5 billion through a private credit debt deal led by Goldman Sachs Asset Management in May, says Ireland is a “key strategic hub” for the firm, acting as a “bridge to European markets”. It adds that the appointments at SumUp Limited are “a big step forward in strengthening our European operations”.
The company offers a super-app that delivers card payment processing, business account services, and invoicing solutions to four million merchants.
