Orlando Merone is a fintech executive with 12 years of experience and over a decade in technology, known for scaling digital finance products across Southern Europe and Italy. He helped launch Revolut’s Southern Europe footprint and Bitpanda’s Italian market, driving hundreds of thousands of retail users and forging B2B banking partnerships that turned Italy into a top market. As Conio’s General Manager he transformed a bitcoin wallet into a multi-crypto broker, delivering strong revenue and EBITDA improvements and striking strategic ties with Visa, Coinbase and Chainalysis. Now leading OSL Pay and the Italy branch of a publicly listed Hong Kong digital-asset platform, he focuses on bridging traditional payments and crypto rails for enterprise adoption. He pairs an Executive MBA with ongoing compliance studies and a hands-on product background—from founding a payments startup to contributing front-end assets for payment icon webfonts on GitHub—bringing both operator grit and developer sensibility. Notably, he combines go-to-market muscle with practical integrations into banking channels, a rare mix that accelerates adoption in regulated markets.
