Nordiska appoints Michael Merzinger as the new CEO of Rocker
Nordiska continues its investment in Rocker by recruiting Michael Merzinger, who during his time as VP Head of Nordic Consumer at American Express drove groundbreaking growth in the Nordic region through strategic partnerships with companies such as SAS.
With an impressive track record in the payment industry, Merzinger is expected to play a crucial role in enhancing Rocker's market position.
Most recently, he held a senior position at payment giant Worldline, which acquired payment provider Bambora in 2020.
"Michael Merzinger's experience and expertise in card distribution is exactly what Rocker needs to accelerate its growth in line with our vision," says Mikael Gellbäck, CEO of Nordiska. "This is a strategic recruitment that represents a significant investment in Rocker's future."
Nordiska strategically strengthened
Nordiska acquired and recapitalized Rocker with 335 million at the beginning of 2024, shortly after acquiring the finance company Release Finans. Together, Nordiska, Release, and Rocker form a strong trinity ready to meet tomorrow's challenges in the financial market. Each has its clear focus: Nordiska provides the banking infrastructure, Release the distribution network, while Rocker delivers a smooth digital customer experience.
Michael Merzinger will assume his position at Rocker in February 2025.
