Summary
Mathieu Tahon is a founder and payments-focused technology leader with 11 years of experience designing end-to-end payment and digital retail architectures for airlines and travel tech. He has built payment orchestration from the airline side, led airport payment product development at Amadeus (holding two patents and multiple EMV/NFC certifications), and served as CTO/Product lead for a decentralized travel marketplace. Today he advises carriers, PSPs, vendors and investors across Europe, the Middle East and APAC on payment strategy, NDC/Offer & Order retailing, vendor selection and due diligence.
