Zepto<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, a leading innovator in account-to-account payments, has revealed its latest C-Suite appointment with\u00a0Laura Mineo\u00a0taking the reins as Chief Financial Officer.<\/p>\n Returning home to Australia, Laura joins Zepto<\/strong><\/span><\/a> following a successful stint in New York as Chief Financial Officer at Rokt – a global eCommerce technology leader – and Executive Director at investment bank Goldman Sachs.<\/p>\n Joining a Byron Bay-based fintech after thriving in the cut-and-thrust world of ecommerce and finance in New York might seem an unusual choice to some. But Laura doesn’t see it that way.<\/p>\n “I couldn’t be more excited about joining the brilliant team at Zepto,” said Laura.<\/p>\n “They have created something truly special, and there’s an incredible opportunity in front of us. Zepto’s trusted, world-class technology opens up a unique set of access points to Australia’s payments infrastructure. We are changing the way value moves through the economy and redefining the future of business payments,” she added.<\/p>\n Laura is the first\u00a0C-Suite\u00a0appointment at Zepto since\u00a0Julia Bearzatto was named Chief Product Officer<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u00a0in November 2022, and joins at a time where the company is growing into an increasingly enterprise customer-focused space.<\/p>\n “We are thrilled to welcome Laura to Zepto’s leadership team,” said CEO Chris Jewell.<\/p>\n “It’s exciting to tap into the experience Laura gained driving global strategy at Goldman Sachs through a period of transformation, and leading Rokt’s finance function and funding strategy through hyper growth and international expansion. It’s a rare mix, and we couldn’t be more excited to have her on board,” he added.<\/p>\n Laura’s arrival is the latest in a string of recent company milestones shaping the future of the business. In late 2022, Zepto was named Business NSW’s 2022\u00a0Business of the Year<\/strong><\/span><\/a>,\u00a0launched into New Zealand, and was approved to onboard to the New Payments Platform (NPP) as a\u00a0<\/a>PayTo\u00a0payment initiator directly connecting to Australia’s real-time rails. In doing so, Zepto became the first non-bank Connected Institution on the NPP.<\/p>\n
