Optty™, a leading global company for payment technologies with headquarters in Singapore, is pleased to announce its plans for the expansion of his management team, while it is further expanding its significant global partnerships.
In view of the considerable short-term growth of the pipeline and the new product launches, the board and the founder of Opty have decided that with the entry of Optty into the phase of hyper-scaling, the right time for the transition from a start-up company came to a professional management team structure.
The founder of opty, Natasha Zoll, follows the proven path of many successful start-ups and will give up her role as CEO and take on an advisory, strategic and directorial function. Natasha will no longer work in the daily management of Optty, but she remains an important shareholder and advocate in the company she has built up. The opty family is infinitely grateful for their contribution to the design of their strong vision, to build transformative partnerships and their support in building the exciting platform today.
The entire management team of opty remains, so that the continuity in all business areas and the provision of services is guaranteed. The board, Natasha and the main investors from Opty continue to rely on the growth course of optty and ensure that the company is well capitalized in order to use the significant future chances.
The new CEO and OPTTY management team will bring the skills to lead opty through the next phase of hyper growth, and opty expects these appointments to be announced soon. In the meantime, the current CPIO, Steven Ritchie, will act as an interim CEO until the new management structure is introduced. Steve is a long-time member of the Opty leadership team and has the full support of the board of directors. Natasha will continue to support the team, while optty builds the new management structure.
Alan Miltz, Chairman of Optty, would like to honor Nastasha’s performance and contributions: “Natasha has done a great job by implementing an idea into reality and founding a company that will change the global payment infrastructure. The team will be painfully missed their superhuman energy and contagious enthusiasm. However, since we enter a rather operative and project management phase of the company, Natasha will be able to provide an even greater value for OPTTY by withdrawing from this introductory phase to give it the range, the strategy, vision and ambitions of opty as a consultant and board member. We are more happy about our common future and the value that we can create together. “
Natasha Zoll, founder of Optty, says: “It is unbelievable to have the support of the shareholders who believed from the start of Optty – when it was only a vision that I knew in my heart would change the world. It is your willingness to look into the future that brought us here and I can’t thank you enough for your trust. The hard work and passion of our team, the investors, the board of directors and the partners were and will continue to ensure the necessary alchemy to raise opty to the next level. As a fintech innovator and leading company in the area of payment transactions, the ambition from Optty now goes far beyond what we have ever imagined. I am incredibly looking forward to supporting our next CEO in scaling this vision and continuing to be the silent hero who drives giants. “
This transition represents a natural development for optty, while we position ourselves for the next growth phase. We look forward to continuing to work with our partners and ensuring comprehensive changes by offering an unsurpassed selection, limitless payment options and additional services that are combined by a single seamless API integration.
