Sustainability champion, lawyer and investment expert, Dagmar Van Ravenswaay Claasen, will enhance Silverflow’s strategy through her experience and network, aiding the leadership to take the company to the next stage of growth and investment. This appointment follows the formation of a supervisory board, bringing a diverse mix of skills, experience, and expertise that will have a direct benefit to the company and its customers.
Amsterdam, NL – 18 July 2024: Silverflow, a leading cloud platform for global card processing, has today announced the appointment of Dagmar van Ravenswaay Claasen as the Chairperson of its supervisory board. The board was launched earlier this year to support Silverflow’s growth strategies, as well as provide insights into industry needs, solutions, and the future of payment technology.
Dagmar has been selected as Chairperson of the supervisory board because of her impressive career, and wide experience in the payment field. As a sustainability champion with a background in law, she has a unique set of skills ranging from regulatory oversight, entrepreneurial companies, and capital markets. She has held several leadership positions at De Nederlandsche Bank, before joining Adyen as Director of Regulatory Affairs. She’s been involved as an advisor and angel investor at numerous (fintech) scaleups and currently is a senior partner at LUMO Labs venture capital fund.
“I look forward to advising an exciting team of passionate, visionary and entrepreneurial payments experts that are facilitating a better world through their use of technology,” Dagmar Van Ravenswaay Claasen, Chairperson of the Supervisory board at Silverflow, commented: “They have created a radical and groundbreaking alternative to the incumbent, entrenched and established legacy systems of the payments industry and our board will bring our experience to help them continue to innovate and propel the company forward.”
Dagmar van Ravenswaay Claasen heads up the board that includes Barbara Arnst, a seasoned transformation leader, with more than 20 years of experience as a consultant, investor, and executive, as well as Alexander Renzi, managing partner at MAPP Advisors, a fintech advisory firm with clients spanning the payments ecosystem, including networks, card brands, sponsor banks, issuers, acquirers, ISOs, and ISVs.
The rest of the board is made up of the three shareholder-appointed members, including Javier Perez, Founder and managing partner at Global Paytech Ventures, Chase Packard – Partner at Coatue, a lifecycle investment platform focused on turning big ideas into world-shaping technology companies, and Krishna Visvanathan – Co-founder and partner at Crane Venture Partners.
Speaking on the appointment of a chairperson to the supervisory board, Silverflow’s co-founder and CEO, Anne Willem de Vries, said:
“Dagmar has been selected as Chairperson of the supervisory board because of her impressive career, and wide experience in the payment field. We’re excited to tap into her unique set of skills to further benefit our clients and partners, as well as for when we enter into our next funding round.”
This new board development follows the company’s €15 Million investment, led by industry veterans and payments experts at Global Paytech Ventures, Picus Capital, Coatue, Crane Venture Partners, Inkef, as well as several angel investors that also participated. The investment has been used to fast-track Silverflow’s aggressive global expansion plans and followed its official expansion into the US and APAC markets.
