Solarisbank, Europe’s leading Banking-as-a-Service platform, announced a change in its Executive Board. As previously announced, Chloé Mayenobe, who started as Chief Growth Officer at Solarisbank on March 1, will officially join the Executive Board on July 1, 2022. At the same time, Chief Commercial Officer Jörg Diewald will assume a new role for personal reasons. As Executive Advisor, Diewald will continue to spend the majority of his time working for Solarisbank in this advisory capacity, primarily helping to manage new and existing key strategic partnerships.
Solaris is undergoing an exciting transformation. Our international expansion and new partnerships require continuous development of the organization. I am delighted that Chloé will now also bring her vast experience to the board. At the same time, I am glad that Jörg will stay with us and continue to support our key partners with his in-depth know-how. During his period as CCO, he led the commercial organization very successfully to high growth rates. We have set ourselves ambitious goals again this year and are well on track to achieve them.Roland Folz, Group CEO of Solarisbank
After exceeding the EUR 100 million net revenue mark in 2021, Solarisbank is targeting sustainable revenue growth in the range of 40 to 60 percent. Moreover, Solarisbank is preparing to be IPO-ready. This includes key measures such as updating the organizational and management structure, moving to IFRS accounting standards, implementing its new NPB framework and, above all, process optimization and investment in compliance and regulatory matters.
Going forward, Mayenobe will represent the whole commercial organization on the Executive Board. Before joining Solarisbank, she served as Deputy CEO of Natixis Payments and was a Member of the Executive Committee of Natixis. Furthermore, Mayenobe spent over 12 years at Ingenico Group, where she was responsible for more than 1,500 employees and managed EUR 400 million in revenue.
Diewald joined Solarisbank in September 2018. Before, he was a board member and CCO of Targo Commercial Finance. Diewald began his career with Commerzbank and thereafter occupied a variety of executive positions, among others at Dresdner Bank and Landesbank Sachsen. From 2007, he was board member and CCO for Germany and Benelux at GE Capital Bank AG, which belongs to the General Electric Group.
