NEW YORK, Sept. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- N26 today
announced the appointment of two key senior executives, with a new
Chief People Officer and Chief Operating Officer set to join the
company next month. Both roles will report directly to N26
co-founder and CFO Maximilian
Tayenthal and will be based out of the company headquarters
in Berlin, as the mobile banking
app continues to build its senior leadership bench for the next
step in its global growth journey.
Taking on the role of Chief People Officer is former Adidas
executive Diana Styles, who will
oversee the Employee Experience, Leadership and Organizational
Development, Recruiting, Employer Brand, Rewards and People
Operations divisions. With decades of experience across talent
retention, leadership development, equity and inclusion and
building capabilities for sustainable growth, Styles is strongly
placed to build out the next chapter of growth for N26 with a
passionate focus on people, talent and culture.
"N26 has been on a truly incredible journey to transform an
industry as a disrupter, challenger and pioneer. Having grown its
team to a 1,500-strong workforce of 80 nationalities in just five
years, I'm extremely excited to further strengthen the N26 culture
and talent pool and build a world-class employee experience that
matches the organization's next chapter of transformational growth
and change," said Styles.
Styles will begin in her new role this October, and will shortly
be joined by Dropbox VP Adrienne Gormley who will take on the role
of Chief Operating Officer. Gormley joins N26 with over 20 years of
experience working with some of the world's most respected
technology leaders, including Google and Dropbox. With deep
expertise across customer experience, business operations and
scaling international teams, she will oversee N26's customer
service, business operations, service experience and workplace
divisions, working to scale and elevate internal capabilities and
build a culture of customer-centricity and operational excellence
across the organization.
"I'm thrilled to be joining N26 at a time full of opportunity.
With more people turning to digital banking than ever before, I
believe that we can be the first to pioneer a truly world-class,
fully-digital service experience in banking that can set the
standard for the future of this industry," Gormley shared.
"It's a great pleasure to welcome these two outstanding
professionals to the N26 family. Both Diana and Adrienne are
accomplished leaders, with proven track records in their respective
fields and a true belief in the N26 vision to transform banking for
the better. As we work towards our vision to serve 100 million
customers globally, their skills and expertise will help us lay
all-important foundations for us to achieve our ambitions, and I
could not be happier to have them with us as we embark on the next
leg of our growth journey," said Maximilian Tayenthal, Chief
Financial Officer and co-founder of N26.
