Latin American (LATAM) payment technology provider PayRetailers has appointed Lorenzo Pellegrino as its new Chief Operating and Digital Officer.
Pellegrino will lead the deployment of PayRetailers’ resources with the aim of enhancing the company’s technology offering and international platform, the company said in a statement.
One of his key responsibilities will be to support the merchant community, and ways in which it can access and move funds quickly and safely.
Pellegrino joins with almost 20 years of senior management experience, most recently as CEO of Skrill and NETELLER, heading their digital wallets businesses, alongside leading the marketing affiliate services company, Income Access – all part of the Paysafe Group Plc. While there, he coordinated efforts to drive Paysafe’s 2021 IPO on the New York Stock Exchange.
The appointment comes at a time of growth for the company, which has expanded from seven to 11 offices and more than doubled its headcount to over 200 personnel. It also recently acquired Paygol in Chile and Pago Digital in Colombia.
Speaking on the appointment, Juan Pablo Jutgla, CEO & Founder of PayRetailers said, “In Lorenzo, we have chosen a leader uniquely positioned to execute and evolve PayRetailers’ strategy while continuing to generate growth. He has earned a reputation as a strong business leader with immense sector knowledge and has an excellent track record of leading businesses in both developed and emerging markets.”
“We believe his strong leadership experience will help focus PayRetailers to become the payment method of choice to increase our community of merchants,” he added.
