Berlin, October 31 2022 - Mélanie Dufour has taken on the newly created position of Chief Financial Officer at re:cap, effective October 1, 2022, having previously held the role of Director of Finance. Dufour was one of the first employees of the startup, which was founded in 2021. She has over ten years of experience in finance and banking. Before re:cap, she spent more than five years at NIBC Bank, where she most recently served as Director of Fintech & Structured Finance advising fintech companies on asset and receivables-based financing.

In the new role, she will further professionalize the fintech's corporate finance division, helping re:cap become the leading pan-European financing solution for the subscription economy.
“I have met many fintech teams in my professional career, but re:cap immediately convinced me with its combination of a disruptive business idea, a dynamic execution, and an experienced, smart founding team. I am very excited to help shape the next steps in the company's development to revolutionize how software companies finance themselves,” says re:cap CFO Mélanie Dufour.

The implementation of the CFO position is a logical step to take the company to the next level.
