Computop Appoints Kenneth M. Overgaard-Nielsen to the Management Board

As of 2nd September, Kenneth M. Overgaard-Nielsen joins the management team of the German payment service provider (PSP) Computop as Chief Operation Officer (COO). He joins Ralf Gladis, CEO and founder, Stephan Kück, CTO/ CSO, and Thomas Egglseder, CFO.

Overgaard-Nielsen’s areas of responsibility include the Business Solutions department, which covers processes and internal systems, and the Merchant Services department, which supports Computop customers with connections and answers technical questions. In addition, the 35-year-old will drive commercial processes for Marketplace Payments and the automation of processes for the SME business, which Computop handles indirectly for white label customers such as banks and acquirers.

Overgaard-Nielsen is joining from Nexi Group to the leading PSP in German online retail. Most recently, as Head of Group eCommerce Delivery & Integration, he was responsible for several transformation projects. He has also been a member of the Computop Advisory Board since July 2023.

Kenneth M. Overgaard-Nielsen: “I am excited to be part of one of Germany’s leading PSPs, serving customers across Europe and beyond. The potential of the organisation is clear, and I am eager to begin contributing in unlocking new opportunities and enhancing the experience for both existing and future customers.”

Ralf Gladis: “Computop has a strong reputation for delivering large international payment projects that are of excellent quality and in time, but we also need more attention on our internal processes. For the last year we’ve seen Kenneth doing just that on Computop’s advisory board. We’re glad that he accepted our offer to join Computop’s management team to improve quality of processes, services and automation.”
