Volt, the global real-time payments platform, recently announced that Matt Henderson, former CEO of Stripe Europe, ex-Google, ex-Amazon, has now “joined as a Special Advisor to the Board.”
Henderson reportedly joins Volt at a critical inflection point “for the company, following the successful completion of a $60 million Series B, led by Silicon Valley investor IVP.”
With the recent addition of Henderson, Volt will aim to bolster its leadership team with extensive expertise in technology sectors including B2B SaaS and applied AI.”
During Henderson’s tenure at financial infrastructure firm Stripe, one of the world’s leading payment processing companies, he “led the EMEA then wider international (non-US) business, overseeing a diverse range of functions such as product engineering, strategy, operations, and more.”
Prior to working at Stripe, Henderson was serving as “a product management director at Google, following on from a successful Google acquisition of his shopping analytics firm, Rangespan.”
He had reportedly led product “for Google Play Console, the company’s digital distribution platform, in addition to the integration of Rangespan into the Google tech stack, and the reconstruction of its analytics product.”
Henderson’s career also notably “includes his tenure at Amazon as Product Director.”
Commenting on his new role of Special Advisor at Volt, Matt Henderson said:
“I have always been impressed by Volt’s approach to solving the fragmented infrastructure problem of account-to-account payments. They manage performance at the most granular level, yet abstract away complexity for their customers. I’m excited to join the team.”
Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Volt, Tom Greenwood, commented:
“Matt’s deep knowledge of the sector, combined with his track record of success, will be pivotal for Volt. As we prepare for global expansion, having Matt onboard will be instrumental in helping us shape our product roadmap in order to help realise our mission for real-time payments everywhere.”
