Brussels, Belgium
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPierre Orban is a seasoned fintech product and program leader with over 25 years of experience building and revitalizing payments, digital banking and e-commerce businesses across EMEA and the Middle East. He has repeatedly turned greenfield efforts into top-tier revenue and margin contributors—most recently establishing Castles Technology in Europe and relaunching Verifone’s e-commerce/unified commerce division. A pragmatic strategist and operator, he combines hands-on product roadmapping with multi-stakeholder program delivery for tier‑1 clients and banks, having led award-winning mobile contactless and financial inclusion initiatives at QNB. Equally comfortable advising boards and rebuilding product organizations, he blends engineering instincts (Ruby on Rails/Node.js hobby development) with executive-level commercial fluency. Based in Brussels, he keeps current on AI strategy through MIT Sloan while consulting independently to help firms scale digital payments and platform products. Not obvious from titles: he repeatedly wins turn-around mandates where product clarity and operational rigor directly restore market leadership.
