The German payment processor PPRO announced that its Board had elevated its Chief Commercial Officer, Motie Bring (LinkedIn), to the Chief Executive Officer position, effective 2 Oct 2023. Motie will succeed the outgoing CEO, Simon Black, who had previously declared his intention to step down. This decision comes after a thorough internal and external search process overseen by the Board in recent months.
PPRO Group was founded by Philipp Nieland and Tobias Schreyer in Munich in 2012 and operates its business through various entities in different jurisdictions. In the UK, PPRO has an EMI license from the FCA.
With over twenty years in the payments sector, Bring is a respected figure, having held several top-tier roles with global entities. His accomplishments include spearheading growth, business transformations, and delivering value to both customers and partners.
Lázaro Campos, Chairman of the PPRO Board, remarked, “Motie’s dedication to customers, vast knowledge of payments, and his consistent success in nurturing and leading teams make him the perfect candidate to steer PPRO into its next phase.“
