Mondu strengthens its management team

The fintech appoints a new Chief Commercial Officer and a Chief People Officer.

The B2B payment service provider Mondu is strengthening its management team with Julian Kurz as the new Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) and Lauren Hoehlein Joseph as Chief People Officer (CPO). Both will continue to drive the international expansion of the team and Mondu's products. The appointment comes shortly after the fintech announced a 43 million US dollar financing round in May.

Julian Kurz joins Mondu after seven years at VMware, a software and cloud infrastructure company. Previously, he was a Partner and Managing Director at The Boston Consulting Group in Germany and Sweden. In his new role at Mondu, he will lead the commercial team, which includes sales management, customer success, partner management, strategy and enablement.

Lauren Hoehlein Joseph was VP of People at Grover before joining Mondu. There she grew the people function from a local support team to a global organization. In her new role as CPO, Hoehlein Joseph will be responsible for Talent Acquisition, Engagement and Development as well as Platform and Business Partnering.

Philipp Povel, Malte Huffmann and Gil Danziger founded Mondu in August 2021. The fintech has developed a "Buy Now, Pay Later" payment model (BNPL) for corporate customers. This allows small and medium-sized enterprises to pre-finance goods from other companies and pay for them later. The retailers integrate the Mondu solution into their online checkout.
