Teylor appoints Paysafe manager as COO, gearing up for the next growth phase

Zurich/Frankfurt, September 11, 2025 – Teylor, Europe’s leading digital SME financing platform, is strengthening its management team. The company is accelerating its international expansion under the leadership of an experienced global operations executive, with a clear focus on steering dynamic growth and integrating a series of strategic acquisitions.

Over the past two years, Teylor has become the most active consolidator in the European market for digital SME financing. Following the acquisitions of the former German market leader creditshelf as well as the factoring business of grenke AG, Teylor is expanding its platform to seven countries, subject to regulatory approval. Additional acquisitions are planned by the end of 2026 to expand market leadership and consolidate the fragmented European SME financing space. Teylor is already in advanced talks with potential acquisition targets. 

To manage this high-growth phase operationally, Teylor has appointed Veronika Missbichler as Chief Operating Officer (COO). Following a career at Accenture as management and technology consultant, the experienced manager spent over 14 years at global payment provider Paysafe in an operational leadership role. During her time at Paysafe, she was heading global customer operations for all product lines. She helped build scalable structures and global operating models that enabled Paysafe's international growth into a leading payment service provider with a market capitalization of over €800 million. She oversaw eleven M&A transactions – a significant portion of the company's numerous acquisitions – and two IPOs, including one on the New York Stock Exchange, and led international teams with hundreds of employees in over 15 locations in Europe, the US, and Latin America.

Veronika Missbichler, Chief Operating Officer at Teylor:

“Teylor has reached a key point in its growth journey, as it is jumpstarting its international expansion. It is precisely this scale-up phase, in which structures and international teams are built, that has always excited me. I am delighted to help shape this development at Teylor.”

Patrick Stäuble, founder and CEO of Teylor;

“Veronika brings the ideal combination of international M&A experience, operational excellence, and leadership skills to Teylor. She will play a key role in realizing our growth targets and further consolidating Teylor's position as the European market leader.”

With the new COO, Teylor gains a key leadership resource to shape its next phase of growth as a successful scale-up. Teylor is planning a larger financing round before the end of this year to further drive market consolidation and international growth.
