Michele Simone

I am an engineer with more than 15 years experience in Digital. I gained this experience by covering several strategic roles in eCommerce, Gaming and Financial services.

I am currently working for PayPal as Director of Partnerships, Southern Europe. Reporting to the Senior Director of Partnerships for Europe, I am responsible for the development of a business worth more than €10bn in France, Italy, Spain and Portugal. I manage the relationships with top PSPs, banks, shopping carts and booking engines in the region.

Before joining PayPal, I was “Head of B2C Marketing” at Agos (Crèdit Agricole group, 2k+ employees in Italy), I led the Seller division of eBay Marketplaces in Italy and the Italian Poker division of bwin.party Digital Entertainment. At beginning of my career, I worked for L.E.K. as an associate consultant focusing on Strategy (Business Planning) and Private Equity.”
