Sonect strengthens its management team

Former CFO of McKinsey Switzerland and Swiss fintech MoneyPark, Patrick Kamm, joins Sonect as CFO & Head of Operation. Steivan Pitsch comes in from Jung von Matt and is named Head of Marketing.

Sonect continues to move at full speed despite COVID-19 and has strengthened the management team for  its international expansion.  

Patrick Kamm has joined Sonect as CFO & Head of Operation. Patrick brings nearly 20 years of experience from both corporate and start-up world. Previously, Patrick was the CFO of McKinsey (Switzerland complex & Africa) and CFO of the successful Swiss fintech MoneyPark that exited to Helvetia in 2017. 

“In the last few years, I had the impression that the large digitalization processes forget about heavy cash users and those who don’t have credit cards. Anybody typically has a smartphone today, road builders in LATAM as well as miners in Africa or farm workers in Asia to name a few, so to still give people access to financial services via Sonect is a great idea.”

Steivan Pitsch has joined Sonect as Head of Marketing. Prior to Sonect, Steivan has worked in management consulting throughout Europe for over 10 years before working for various advertising and branding agencies, developing  numerous international brands during the last 5 years.
