Trustly is pleased to announce that Johan Tjärnberg has been appointed Chairman of Trustly’s Board of Directors.

Johan brings with him extensive operational experience and an impressive track record of innovation within the payments industry. In 2014, Johan founded Bambora, an international payments processor for in-store and online retailers.

Fredrik Näslund, Partner at Nordic Capital Advisors, says: “Johan has an incredible wealth of knowledge of the payments industry, with valuable experience in building and scaling successful companies internationally. He is ideal to guide Trustly in becoming the global leader in account-to-account payments and as majority owner, Nordic Capital is enthusiastic about supporting Trustly’s continued growth and bringing a unique experience of international expansion by the appointment of Johan.”

Oscar Berglund, CEO of Trustly, says: “Johan’s insights and expertise within the payments industry will make him a great asset to Trustly as we accelerate the development of our payments products to the benefit of our merchants and their customers. I am very much looking forward to working with him.”
