Henry Helgeson has been appointed as the CEO of BlueSnap, a worldwide payment orchestration platform used by top B2B and B2C companies.
Helgeson, a well-respected veteran of the payments sector with over 25 years of experience, takes on a leadership position at BlueSnap to promote the creation and uptake of their Global Payment Orchestration Platform. Helgeson’s goal for BlueSnap is to boost the company’s growth by putting more of an emphasis on middle-class retailers, who are frequently disregarded by traditional payment processors, and by growing its network of alliances with Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), who want to boost sales, enhance customer satisfaction for financial services, and raise the value of their offerings for their clientele.
According to Helgeson, businesses from a variety of industries are realizing more and more how important it is to improve payments capabilities in order to increase customer happiness and income. In order to broaden the global reach of our payment orchestration platform, BlueSnap has a large network of financial institutions and an array of cutting-edge solutions for payments, billing, and invoicing. In order to meet the growing demand from underserved ISVs and the middle market, he looks forward to assisting BlueSnap in realizing its development potential and ushering in a new era for the business.
Helgeson was once the creator and CEO of the payments startup Cayan, situated in Boston. Under his direction, Cayan expanded to become one of the US’s biggest merchant acquirers, and in 2018 it was sold to Global Payments for a sum of $1.05 billion. He has served as a speaker at events and conferences, sharing his thoughts and industry knowledge. He has also been on the boards of directors of eminent billing and payments organizations, such as Payroc, Infinicept, and Billing Tree.
Helgeson went on, “BlueSnap has made a name for itself as a pioneer in the payments industry, and their payment orchestration platform is being used by an increasing number of global businesses to boost sales and cut expenses. As we develop, innovate, and provide outstanding payment experiences to current and potential BlueSnap customers worldwide, he was thrilled to join a vibrant team of payments experts. BlueSnap gives retailers the ability to accept payments worldwide in more than 100 currencies and 100 different payment kinds with its Global Payment Orchestration Platform. Additionally, merchants may benefit from best-in-class integration capabilities through BlueSnap’s network of technology partners. Parthenon Capital Partners and Great Hill Partners are two private equity firms that support BlueSnap.
Matt Vettel, the chairman of BlueSnap, expressed his happiness at having Henry join the company. Henry is the perfect candidate to manage BlueSnap because of his extensive industry expertise, solid relationships, and stellar track record as a payments industry innovation and successful entrepreneur.
