Former MediaCom CEO Willie Pang has been named as the new CEO of digital payments company Limepay, effective immediately.

Limepay is a company that offers white-label payments services, meaning brands can build payment systems that don’t require redirecting to third-party providers. They can create white-label Buy Now, Pay Later services, for example.

Earlier this year Pang moved to the role of Managing Director, GroupM Services, after a reshuffle that saw former MediaCom Russia CEO Yaron Farizon named local boss.

Earlier this year, Pang was appointed acting executive chairman of Limepay, a role he will keep for the time being.

“For brands to win in this environment they need to provide a frictionless customer experience and optimise their speed to data. This data includes purchase intent and propensity, arguably the most powerful type of customer data, for brands today.”
