Paysend announces Alexander Nicolaus as Chief People Officer
London, January 21st
Global FinTech firm Paysend today announced that people & culture influencer Alexander Nicolaus has joined the company as Chief People Officer, and will become part of the firm’s executive leadership team.
2021 is predicted to be a game-changing year for the company, as the global expansion that has seen Paysend grow to 3 million customers in under 4 years continues. The added challenges of managing a remote workforce prompted the addition of Alexander to the team, in order to reinforce and reinvigorate the company’s culture and create a high-performance organisation despite the international working arrangement.
Alexander has enjoyed an impressive global and international career to date in Europe, China and across Asia. He has helped large corporates (Willis, Barclays, Jaguar Land Rover and Accenture) and some of the fastest growing start-ups in South East Asia with their people and culture challenges in this new era of digital disruption. He has built and nurtured high-performance teams throughout his career and is an expert in rapidly scaling global startups.
“At Paysend we aim to set new industry benchmarks that will allow us to build the future of work by enabling our current and future employees to enjoy their work experience while performing their best work,” Alexander said. “I feel extremely fortunate and humbled to be entrusted with the People & Culture agenda at Paysend, and working closely with an already established and high-performing leadership team.”
In his field, Alexander has received industry-wide recognition for his book Startup Culture, Your Superpower for Sustainable Growth.
He added: “Although the vision we have chosen for ourselves is ambitious, the clarity of thought and togetherness I have already seen across the company makes me feel extremely optimistic that will we deliver the highest consumer value creation within the FinTech industry globally.”
