Jan Kemper becomes CFO of N26
It could be another step towards going public: The online bank N26 is bringing an experienced manager into the company in Kemper.
In December, N26 CEO Valentin Stalf said that an IPO was not on the cards for the next three years. The online bank has now announced that experienced manager Jan Kemper will join the company as CFO in the second half of 2021 and has big plans. "N26 is gearing up for its next phase of growth," the company writes.
It is therefore reasonable to assume that Kemper was also brought into the team to prepare for the IPO. "His experience in scaling start-ups into listed companies is of great importance for our future plans," says co-CEO and co-founder Maximilian Tayenthal on Kemper's arrival.
As CFO of Zalando, Kemper accompanied the company's IPO in 2014. He was then also CFO at ProsiebenSat.1 Media. Most recently, he worked for the travel start-up Omio. "It's a great time to become part of N26," said Kemper, commenting on his career move.
N26 is currently valued at 3.75 billion euros. The fintech is represented in 25 countries and claims to serve over five million customers.
