The start-up from Heidelberg is restructuring its management. The previous CEO Axel Rebien has to go.

The fintech Unzer has a new boss. Robert Buenick will become CEO of the Heidelberg-based fintech. He was previously Chief Commercial Officer of the start-up and replaces Axel Rebien. The changeover is part of a transformation process, according to a company statement. Jacob von Ingelheim will become managing director alongside his job as chief financial and risk officer. Under Rebien's leadership, Unzer has acquired and integrated ten companies in just 18 months. In the last fiscal year, the fintech saw growth of about 40 percent.

"Now is the right time to usher in the next phase of the company's development with a new management team," Rebien said in parting remarks. "I am extremely proud of all we have achieved over the past years. Unzer is well on its way to challenging the top players in the European payments industry. On this path, I wish my successor Robert and his team all the best."

Buenick worked at payment service provider Klarna for eight years before joining Unzer. He only moved to the Heidelberg-based fintech in March this year (Startbase reported). "We want to bring together all the bright minds of the integrated companies, join forces, further unify our offering, and thus continue the success story," Bueninck said. Unzer is a service provider for international payments and aims to be one of the top 3 payment companies in Europe.
