The Access Group, a provider of business management software, has appointed Giulio Montemagno as Managing Director of its Access PaySuite division.
Giulio takes over from Andrea Dunlop, who will stay with The Access Group and PaySuite division as a non-executive director.
With 25 years of extensive general management, operations and strategy experience, Giulio has a distinguished career as a technology executive in payments, financial services and eCommerce.
He has a strong track-record in starting and scaling businesses within fast-growing, tier-1 technology companies and is passionate about delivering exceptional customer experiences and driving continuous innovation at scale.
Before joining Access PaySuite, Giulio was executive vice president of Payments-Platform-as-a-Service at Ingenico. Before that, he held senior leadership roles at Amazon, RetailMeNot, PayPal, and eBay across Europe. He has an MBA from Columbia Business School and London Business School.
Giulio said: “This is an exciting time to be joining Access PaySuite and I am keen to contribute to the Group’s exceptional growth and help propel and deliver success across the division.
“I am looking forward to working with a likeminded team at The Access Group globally to continue to drive innovation on behalf of our customers and partners in the ever-evolving payments landscape.
“I am committed to ensuring that we continue to deliver exceptional service and value to all our customers and stakeholders and look forward to the opportunities ahead.”
The Access Group CEO, Chris Bayne, added: “I am delighted to welcome Giulio as Managing Director of Access PaySuite, he will be responsible for the strategic and operational development of the division and has the skillset, drive and passion to make a great success for both our customers and our people.
“I would also like to take the opportunity to thank Andrea Dunlop for helping build Access PaySuite to the organisation it is today. Her hard work and dedication has laid the foundations for the future of payments at Access PaySuite, and we can continue to build on that.
“I am delighted that she has committed to remaining with The Access Group and PaySuite division as a non-executive director and will be supporting Giulio with both FCA and regulatory support and M&A strategy and we are looking forward to the value she will bring in her new role.”
