Online payment provider Skrill has appointed Roland Schaar (pictured) as senior vice president of technology. Schaar recently joined the Skrill Group following the acquisition of paysafecard, where he remains as CIO.
“The payment industry is highly competitive and evolving rapidly, so we need to constantly improve and innovate in order to meet our customers’ needs and ensure our systems are the first choice for our customers," said Schaar.
”I will be working to strengthen delivery capabilities within the Skrill Group, helping to design and deliver new innovative payment solutions that combine the business’ strong experiences of online payments, offline payments and international distribution network.”
Siegfried Heimgaertner, CEO of the Skrill Group, added: “Roland’s wealth of knowledge and understanding of the payment technology sector will help shape this exciting next stage of our journey.
“His understanding of the industry and experience in managing teams on a global scale will help us continue to operate quickly, flexibly and cost effectively.”
