London-headquartered global digital banking solutions provider Meniga has appointed Gunter Saurwein as its new COO to drive growth and performance.
Saurwein will be based out of Meniga’s Stockholm office, and will also act as the CEO’s deputy, the company said.
He will be responsible for designing and implementing business operations, establishing policies that promote company culture and vision, contributing to overall business strategy and the organisation of the executive management team.
Saurwein has over 25 years experience, including senior positions in the aviation and travel industry.
He worked as a Vice President for The Americas at Qatar Airways, based in New York City, where he was responsible for all operations and sales in North and South America.
Saurwein joined Meniga in February this year as the Managing Director for Sweden and Head of Meniga Rewards.
His appointment comes at the end of a successful year of international expansion and growth for Meniga, the company said.
It closed an EUR10 million funding round led by Velocity Capital and Frumtak Ventures earlier this year, and also launched a green banking solution, Carbon Insight.
