These strategic moves reinforce CellPoint Digital's commitment to accelerating growth through enhanced technological capabilities and strengthened market presence.

Driving Technological Innovation for Future Readiness

Michael Sørensen, previously Head of Tech Ops, has been promoted to CTO, recognising his exceptional contributions and vision for the company's technological future. With over 30 years of experience in IT leadership and infrastructure management, Sørensen's elevation comes at a crucial time as the fintech industry faces rapid technological changes.

In his new role, Sørensen will expand his focus beyond operational excellence to drive CellPoint Digital's overall technology strategy.

"This promotion is a testament to our commitment to technological excellence," said Sørensen. "As CTO, I'll be championing an ambitious vision for our tech ecosystem. We're not just keeping pace with the evolving payment landscape; we're setting new standards. Our goal is to accelerate our innovation cycle and deliver unprecedented value to our clients."
