About

Email for brand collaboration: bonjour @ marcelvanoost.nl About me: What do I want to become when I grow up? That's a question I asked myself for a long time. My childhood dream, playing for Ajax, was soon out of the question (I wasn’t even close…). So what's next? I studied Communication & Media, dropped out, and started working at an Acquiring Bank. After these first steps in the Payments Industry I founded a Payments consultancy business, followed by a Collecting Payment Service Provider, with an exit in 2017. Nowadays I'm back in (FinTech-) Media, and invest as an Angel Investor in FinTech startups on the side. NO, I don't do any speaker gigs, podcasts, webinars etc. I DO share the latest FinTech Industry trends and news updates here on Linkedin, and in my daily newsletter. 👉 Get the most important FinTech news and analysis in a 5 minute daily briefing you’ll actually look forward to reading, by signing up here: https://www.connectingthedotsinfin.tech
