Céline Lazorthes, Founder and CEO of the Leetchi Group

Celine Lazorthes is a successful entrepreneur who founded Leetchi.com in 2009, an online money pot created to enable individuals to securely and quickly finance fundraising projects, events or group gifts.

In doing so, she realised that there was no single solution for the payments journey causing needless complication, costs and friction. Realising the gap in the market, Celine created MANGOPAY, an end-to-end payments solution designed to empower entrepreneurs across Europe. Her dynamism and determination is the key to her success.

Celine was a founding member of France Digitale, set up to facilitate start-ups in France and ensure they pioneer the digital future. She is also an active business angel, having invested in companies such as Jimmy Fairly and Talent.io. Celine is a regular speaker on FinTech and a strong advocate for women in business.

She was awarded the Best Woman in Business Prize by Veuve Clicquot in 2014.
