Mangopay, a provider of flexible and modular payment infrastructure offering 360° fraud prevention for platforms and marketplaces, has announced the appointment of Bertrand Dezard to their team as Head of Sales for Fraud. Bertrand will be joining to drive the international growth of Mangopay’s fraud prevention business worldwide, with a focus on Europe and Latin America as the company expands its customer base for their award-winning cybersecurity solution.
With over 15 years of experience in the payments and fraud prevention sector, Bertrand most recently led the commercial organization at Ravelin, a company specializing in fraud detection. He has held senior positions at Payplug, Braintree, and Visa Europe, bringing significant expertise in the European payment industry and implementing commercial optimization tools for clients by detecting patterns associated with the latest fraudulent techniques and behaviors.
Since 2013, Mangopay has been providing its modular payment infrastructure to leading marketplaces in Europe and globally. In 2023, they acquired Nethone, a firm specializing in fraud detection and prevention, to enhance their offerings for clients with their own technology, expertise, and intelligence in cybersecurity.
Through Mangopay, Nethone’s AI-based cybersecurity solution offers protection against evolving threats such as account takeovers by bots and humans, reseller fraud, payment fraud, chargebacks, and return abuse. It provides enhanced protection including real-time fraud detection, darknet intelligence, and device fingerprints, benefiting from years of firsthand darknet insights to safeguard businesses against techniques and patterns used by experienced fraudsters.
Bertrand will drive the growth of Mangopay’s fraud prevention offering globally, joining the company during a period of expansion that extends their fraud prevention product portfolio to meet the needs of e-commerce businesses, platforms, and the financial services sector.
Romain Mazeries, CEO of Mangopay, commented on Bertrand’s appointment: “Bertrand brings an impressive background to accelerate the international growth of our fraud prevention offering, which represents a new and exciting proposition for the sector, with cutting-edge innovations and insights. He joins Mangopay at an exciting stage of our journey, and I look forward to closely working with him to keep platforms secure and enable their growth with our award-winning solution.”
Bertrand added: “Mangopay’s modular solution and deep understanding of the specific needs of marketplaces and platforms set the company apart. That’s why I have been closely following the business since its inception, and I am thrilled to join during this period of expansion. At Mangopay, we are constantly working to innovate and evolve our product offerings, including our anti-fraud solutions. I am excited to collaborate with Mangopay’s CEO, Romain Mazeries, and our talented team of fraud prevention experts to drive the international growth of the group.”
