In this episode, I sit down with Stephane Dehaies, CEO of Spendesk Financial Services.
Before leading Spendesk Financial Services, Stephane was previously partner at KPMG UK in the financial services practice, but also Deputy CEO and COO at Western Europe, Head of Integration & Separation at RBS / NatWest Group and ABN Amro, passing through experiences at Deloitte and KPMG US.
Now, he is building Spendesk Financial Services (SFS), a new payment system and infrastructure linked to the well known spend management software in Europe, and one of the most interesting new entries in the fintech market from a third party. Responsible for the SFS P&L and strategic partnerships, and leading teams across offices in Paris, London, Berlin and Madrid.
With him, we will talk about the evolution from a spend management system to a fintech service, the challenges behind the over regulation in Europe, but also the shift from a very well structured environment to a startup, and finally the importance of partnerships in fintech.
