Recharge appoints Martine Tiemersma chief of staff

Reporting directly to the CEO, Martine will be an instrumental member of the senior team, driving organisational effectiveness and company-wide alignment as the firm enters the next phase of growth.

Martine has worked at Recharge for five years in various positions. She started when the company had only 25 people and helped to transform the company into a global fintech brand with millions of users.

As Chief of Staff, Martine will be in charge of leading critical company-sponsored cross functional initiatives like setting up and opening regional outposts, including Recharge’s office in Lisbon, Portugal, which is home to the company’s new tech development hub. In addition she will drive organisational effectiveness and company wide alignment by managing and scaling the tools and mechanisms to support strategy execution and innovation.

Commenting on the strategic hire, Günther Vogelpoel, CEO of Recharge said: “Our high growth strategy is driven by complex product, technology and commercial development challenges. This requires clarity of objectives and a structured approach to effective execution. This becomes even more complex in a continuous growing and changing organisation. In this environment, Martine’s position as Chief of Staff will be vitally important, as she will be making sure that the whole organisation can execute as best as possible on achieving the company’s strategic objectives.”

Recharge.com is the European leader in online consumer-branded payments. Operating in over 150 markets around the world the company processes millions of online transactions annually connecting customers with leading global brands.

Martine said: “I am delighted to take on this role and to play a part in helping to transform Recharge into a global player. With the support of my fantastic colleagues I am looking forward to working with them on the next phase of Recharge’s scaling journey during this exciting phase of the company.”
