Hans Henrik Hoffmeyer .
Co-Founder & Chief Operating Officer of Coinify
A great #2 makes a #1 Having a strong COO with Board experience enables the CEO to build the greatest Fintech company. When it comes to building future Fintech growth companies, I am experienced with taking responsibility for entire organizations including technology, compliance, legal, operations, finance, and P&L. I have built Fintechs from scratch, sold some too, acquired others on the journey, and participated in two large scale IPOs. I have led financial inspections, audits, and completed turnarounds. Today I serve as Chief Operations Officer and Vice Chairman on the Board of Directors in Coinify. A company that I successfully merged from two early-stage blockchain payment companies, subsequently lead the acquisition strategy of others, into what is today one of the most successful blockchain payment facilitators worldwide. Besides I serve as a Certified Board Member in several Fintech companies with aggressive growth targets. I naturally join with a wealth of experience from top tier global IT companies, successful NASDAQ listed companies down to fast-growing start-ups challenging enterprises on the status quo. As Senior Vice President in Nets Group, I was Group-wide responsible for running an aggressive strategy by Bain/Advent and the Executives to build innovative payment solutions with mobile tokenization, blockchain, biometrics, AI, and IoT. Nets became one of the most successful equity journeys and the second-largest European payment operator when it went public. At Pandora I served the Executive Committee as Vice President and CIO to build the technology and POS infrastructure of a company that doubled in size several times to become the world largest jewelry company and most successful IPOs that year. During my early years at IBM, I was a proud member of a team conducting the world’s first secure financial transactions and later joined Oracle to head E-Commerce and E-Business initiatives, and subsequently, I was made responsible for Strategic Technologies to drive technology adoption of new acquisitions. I believe that I have a rare ability to make sense of technology in a Senior Executive forum, and I continuously support VCs and PEs in making sense of Fintech. I have an MBA and a Bachelor of Economics, a Diploma in Business Administration from Copenhagen Business School. Excellence in Retail from Harvard, Board of Directors accreditation from the Institute of Directors in London. That’s me. Ask my CEO, or any previous ones for that matter, what it means to have a great #2
