With these additions to our management team we’ve strengthened our position and are well placed to cater to demand for short-term business finance. We are delighted to welcome Linh and Martin to our growing team.”

Spotcap’s innovative technology, global reach and diverse customer base make this a very attractive role from a marketer’s perspective. I look forward to continuing to build our global brand with a renewed focus on strategic cross-channel marketing.”

Martin Gawlak joins Spotcap from Opel Bank and brings 20 years of HR experience to the role. Martin has worked for several high-profile corporates across multiple industries and countries. Martin will be responsible for leading the global People Team which is responsible for attracting and retaining top talent.
