Global modern card issuing platform Marqeta (NASDAQ:MQ) today announced the appointment of PayPal veteran Marcin Glogowski as SVP, Managing Director Europe and UK CEO, where he will be responsible for leading Marqeta in the region.

Marqeta has partnered with market leading organisations across Europe, including Klarna, Uber, Western Union, Lydia, Scalapay, and Capital on Tap, to expand to new markets and delight their customers with card issuing and embedded finance capabilities that help grow revenue and retain customers. Marqeta’s global platform allows customers to launch card products in more than 40 markets through a single integration, helping customers reduce effort and time-to-market for each subsequent launch.

Glogowski joins Marqeta from PayPal, where most recently he led the Central Eastern Europe region, overseeing growth strategy and sales across 30 European markets. Before PayPal, he spent 10 years in strategic consulting working for multinational financial services organizations in Europe and beyond. He will be based in Marqeta’s newly expanded London office.

“Marqeta’s vision of the future of brand loyalty, centered around embedded finance, resonated deeply with me. The growth potential and large untapped European market fueled my decision to join the company,” said Marcin Glogowski, SVP Managing Director, Europe and UK CEO, Marqeta. “I’m looking forward to leading Marqeta’s European team to continue to grow our business and deliver for our customers.”
