The co-founder of Paddle has quit the board of the London fintech firm a year after stepping down as CEO.
Christian Owens, who left school at 16 and launched the payments firm in London in 2012 at the age of 18 with co-founder Harrison Rose, recruited a replacement CEO in May last year and transitioned to an executive chair role, which he said was because he “wanted someone else to help run the operations, so I can focus more on products, engineering teams and spending time with customers.”
