Nayax hires Nakamura

Having spent four years as CEO and managing director of Ingenico, another payment company based in Japan, Nayax is confident that he is well qualified to lead the company’s activities in the country.

Yair Nechmad, Nayax’s CEO and co-founder, said: “Nayax jumped at the opportunity to have Nakamura-san take the reins of our Japanese market as his qualifications are unparalleled. As Japan rapidly progresses to a cashless society, our goal to be a dominant player in providing cashless payment services becomes much more attainable with Nakamura-san at the helm of our Japanese office.”

In addition to his position at Ingenico, Nakamura also worked at Internet Research Institute as vice president and board member and Broad Band Tower as CEO. He also has experience in the IT industry, specialising in payment solutions and cloud data centres.

Nakamura said: “Nayax’s innovative product line offers a clear-cut advantage to our customers and I’m eager to work towards strengthening its presence and opening new channels of distribution here.”
