The company says that in his new role, Köppen will drive Mollie’s mission to simplify complex financial services and level the playing field for small- and medium-sized e-commerce companies taking on larger competitors. 

Köppen’s appointment is conditional upon approval by the Dutch Central Bank and on the advice of Mollie’s Works Council. 

Shane Happach, Mollie’s current CEO, is taking up a leadership role in Asia.

“We’re delighted to be welcoming Koen into a new and elevated role. We’ve been very impressed by Koen’s achievements and drive over the last eight months,” says Eli Leenaars, Chair of Mollie. 

“Shane can be proud of the company he leaves behind, leading our Series C funding round and our move into financial services. We wish him the very best in his new role,” he adds. 

Köppen will also be involved in increasing the pace of product development and delivery.

The announcement comes three months after launching its financial services, Mollie Capital, a fast and flexible way for customers to access funding.

The company says the launch is a crucial step for the company in the financial services sector and allows better access to funds for SMEs.
