SETL, a settlement and payments infrastructure provider, has enhanced its executive management team with the appointment of Marjan Delatinne as head of payments.
As head of payments, Delatinne has overall responsibility for growing SETL’s payments business, alongside its market infrastructure and asset management offerings.
Delatinne joins SETL having most recently served as global head of banking at Ripple, a real-time gross settlement system.
At Ripple, Delatinne was in charge of defining and executing the go-to-market strategy and sales of Ripple’s products and services.
Prior to this, she held senior business development roles at SWIFT, where she was responsible for the commercialisation of large scale projects both in securities and payments, namely Target 2 Securities and SWIFT Global Payments Innovation.
Commenting on her appointment, Delatinne says: “Key to helping the payments industry tackle the common pain points is a need for strong and committed community engagement. Our aim is to work with key industry partners, to improve on existing legacy technology and to drive digital transformation across the market.”
Philippe Morel, SETL CEO, adds: “Marjan Delatinne’s appointment is a strategic step for us; we are committed to bringing deep sector level expertise to solve common industry challenges.”
“Delatinne will be instrumental in realising our ambitions to deliver innovative solutions to payments providers, to empower them with the right applications to manage instant payments, cross-border liquidity, settlement and compliance requirements.”
SETL notes that the payments industry has undergone significant changes over recent years as market participants increasingly demand real-time solutions that help address legacy infrastructure issues around liquidity management, real-time settlement and compliance, all of which significantly impact performance.
