Thunes has promoted Chloé Mayenobe to Deputy CEO as it sharpens its leadership structure to support global expansion.
Mayenobe was previously President and Chief Operating Officer. In her expanded role, she will partner with the board and CEO to define the company’s long-term strategy.
She will also oversee execution across its enterprise roadmap, including network expansion, mergers and acquisitions, technology, product, marketing, sales operations and global operations.
Mayenobe will continue to report to Thunes co-founder Peter De Caluwe, who is CEO and Deputy Chairman of the company.
Thunes said the leadership structure is designed to leverage Mayenobe’s experience in scaling high-growth businesses and transforming market leaders, as the company accelerates its commercial trajectory globally.
Mayenobe brings more than 15 years of experience scaling fintech businesses and transforming multinational payments groups.
Her previous roles include Chief Operating Officer at Solaris Group, which reached a valuation of €1.6 billion, Deputy CEO at Natixis Payments, and Senior Vice President and Managing Director for EMEA at Ingenico Group.
At Ingenico, she managed profit and loss responsibilities exceeding €400 million and contributed to a twelvefold increase in the company’s market capitalisation.
Since joining Thunes in 2023, Mayenobe has been instrumental in professionalising the company’s governance and played a central role in securing US licensing across all 50 states.
She was also central to closing Thunes’ US$150 million Series D funding round.
Peter De Caluwe, CEO and Deputy Chairman of Thunes, said,
“Chloé is more than an operational leader; she is a strategic visionary who understands how to turn ambition into enterprise value. Her promotion to Deputy CEO reflects her immense contribution to our growth and her ability to navigate complex global markets.
To win the race, you need both a visionary driver and a flawless engine. With Chloé fine-tuning the high-performance engine of our day-to-day operations, I am focused on the road ahead, steering our strategic vision and cementing Thunes as the world’s definitive global payment infrastructure.”
Chloé Mayenobe, Deputy CEO of Thunes, said,
“I am honoured to step into the Deputy CEO role. Thunes is at a pivotal moment where operational rigour must meet aggressive strategic expansion. My focus will be on leveraging our global Network to unlock new revenue streams, integrating predictive intelligence into our decision-making, and ensuring our culture of high performance translates directly to client success.
I look forward to working with Peter and our incredible team to build a financial ecosystem that is not only efficient but truly transformative for the global economy.”
