Ronen was previously at Bumble, a dating and networking app, where he served as CTO. Prior to that, Ronen was the CTO for a UK challenger bank and pioneering peer-to-peer lender Zopa. He also served as CTO for leading online gaming operator PokerStars where he led the tech function from private company stage through to its initial public offering.

The platform economy is booming. Platforms have become an essential driver for e-commerce growth as they bring so many benefits to both buyers and sellers. Mastering payments at scale in this field is complex yet key to all platforms. Compounded with business growth, this creates an exciting tech journey for our tech team and I’m thrilled to join Mangopay at such a key moment in its evolution. Mangopay’s potential is unrivaled and I am excited by the opportunity to build a best-in-class payment ecosystem and deliver even more value to our customers.”
