European branded payments company Recharge.com today announced the appointment of Freddy Dijkman as Chief Financial Officer. Having joined the company in May 2021 as interim CFO, he is now remaining in the CFO position permanently.  

This comes hot on the heels of another recent announcement regarding a major hire for the growing technology firm, with former Amazon executive David Lindheimer joining as Chief Product and Technology Officer.

Prior to Recharge.com, Freddy held CFO roles among other fast-paced technology-driven companies, including T-Mobile, Kinly and Avaya, where he transformed and optimised go-to-market strategies, enhanced business models and drove transformational changes.

This international experience has made him an all-round next-generation business leader and he brings an entrepreneurial mindset to the role, alongside a track record of improving both top-line and bottom-line results.

“We are thrilled to be scaling up as a company and going from strength to strength with multiple key hires in recent months,” said Recharge.com’s CEO Günther Vogelpoel. “Freddy is a business leader who brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to help us tackle our next chapter of growth. This new addition to our team will help us to continue our international acceleration, which is gaining more momentum every month.”

Recharge.com is one of Europe’s fastest-growing technology companies, helping over 3 million people process more than $500 million in consumer-branded payments each year. It has seen sharp growth from high smartphone penetration, increasing popularity of e-wallets and alternative payment methods, and the growing need for privacy and digital cross-border transactions.

Now operating in over 150 markets around the world, Recharge.com connects customers with pre-paid payment methods for leading global brands, with a broad selection of digital vouchers and prepaid money, including Apple, Google, Spotify, Xbox and PlayStation. Alongside cross-border remittances of call and data credits, the digital platform puts the consumer in charge and disrupts traditional players across the globe.
