Couchonomics kicks off its Amsterdam Special with the Chief Commercial Officer at Adyen, Roelant Prins. 

Having led a career in fintech for over 20 years, Roelant has personally experienced the rapid development of the sector. He worked with the Royal bank of Scotland in early 2000 before moving on to head numerous leadership and management roles in payments technology. Roelant has been a speaker on major platforms such as Money 20/20 Asia, Vivatech 2019 & 2022. 

In this special episode recorded in Adyen offices in Amsterdam, Roelant talks us through the evolution of commerce and fintech. He describes how the two have slowly merged over the years under a concept known as “unified commerce”.

Roelant also shares how Adyen has positioned itself as an industry leader, not just in the payments space, but in the financial technology sector. 

Other topics discussed include:

●      The fine, but vital distinction between multichannel commerce and unified commerce

●      The concept of invisible payments and how that may be achieved

●      Adyen’s expansion in coming years.
