Leading FinTech payabl. has appointed Christia Evagorou to the role of deputy group CEO.
It follows last week’s announcement that payabl. had partnered with ClearBank to power real-time payments in the UK.
Evagorou, who currently serves as the London-based firm’s chief corporate officer, will continue in that role while stepping into a broader leadership position focused on the company’s strategic execution and long-term direction.
Since joining payabl. in early 2024, she has played a central role in strengthening the group’s corporate functions, leading operations across legal, compliance, risk, finance, and HR.
In her expanded role, she will work closely with group CEO Ugne Buraciene and the board to support the company’s continued growth across Europe and beyond.
Evagorou brings over 15 years of experience in corporate governance, tax, and legal structuring, having held senior positions at PwC Cyprus and previously worked at KPMG UK.
She is a qualified solicitor and chartered accountant (FCA), and holds a degree in accounting and law from the University of Manchester.
“Christia has been instrumental in shaping the operational backbone of payabl.,” said Buraciene.
“Her strategic mindset, integrity, and deep understanding of governance make her the ideal partner as we expand our footprint while staying true to the highest regulatory standards.”
Evagorou added: “It’s a privilege to take on this new role at such a pivotal time for payabl.
“We’re building something truly exciting – a platform that empowers businesses through technology, trust, and exceptional service. I look forward to helping steer our next chapter alongside our fantastic team.”
The company, which maintains a gender-balanced executive team, says the appointment marks another significant milestone.
It also stated that the promotion reflects the company’s belief that diverse, inclusive leadership is key to long-term success.
