Her promotion underscores her immense contribution to our growth and her knack for navigating complex global markets.” According to De Caluwe, a visionary driver is crucial in today’s competitive landscape. With Mayenobe fine-tuning the high-performance engine of daily operations, he can focus on guiding the strategic vision of Thunes and establishing it as a leading global payment infrastructure.
Chloé Mayenobe shared her thoughts on her new position, saying, “It is a great honor to take on the role of Deputy CEO.

My focus will be on leveraging our global network to generate new revenue streams, integrating predictive intelligence into decision-making, and ensuring that our high-performance culture translates directly into our clients' success.” Her commitment to driving Thunes towards a more efficient and transformative financial ecosystem is evident.
With over 15 years of profound experience in the fintech landscape and multinational transformations, Mayenobe's track record is nothing short of impressive.
