Global mobile payment market is booming and according to the analysts the growth will continue. Gartner suggests that mobile payment volumes in 2017 will be US$ 721B, and Timetric states even higher total volumes of US$ 1,100B.

A signal of goSwiff’s intention to stamp even more authority on the worldwide mCommerce arena this year and beyond, the company builds the next chapter on its already existing portfolio of four continents. From 2015 onwards, the company will hold operations across Africa, the Americas, the Asia Pacific, EME (East Europe, Russia, the CIS and the Middle East), and Europe. In order to succeed in these regions, goSwiff has reinforced its global leadership team of regional executives with the experience and skills to drive growth.

Stefano brings with him a wealth of experience in a broad range of areas in the mCommerce sector, from start-up management, product development and user experience to effective team building in multi-channel, multi-cultural businesses. Having held managerial positions across these specialisations, Stefano's incredibly diverse skill set will be a valuable asset to goSwiff's activities in the key European market and to further advance consumer services in mobile payments.
