Vincent van Seumeren Becomes COO of LEASETEQ: A Perfect Match for Speed, Precision, and Scalable Growth

LEASETEQ is entering a decisive new phase of expansion — and with the appointment of Vincent van Seumeren as Chief Operating Officer (COO), the company gains a leader who blends operational excellence, data-driven decision-making, and deep industry expertise. Originally from the Netherlands, Vincent is fluent in Dutch, English, and German, and has additional knowledge of Spanish and Swedish — valuable assets in today's multilingual, cross-border business context. With his strong understanding of the Swiss financial landscape and an international track record, Vincent is the ideal fit for LEASETEQ's vision: faster, smarter, and more reliable auto finance solutions for dealerships, partners, and customers across Europe.

A Career Path That Aligns Naturally With LEASETEQ

Vincent brings a rare and highly valuable combination: hands-on customer experience and advanced analytical and regulatory expertise. Despite being highly analytical and process-focused in his professional approach, Vincent brings a warm and engaging personal side that enhances his leadership effectiveness.

During his more than six years in direct customer-facing roles, he developed a precise understanding of what clients truly need and how complex financial processes can be made intuitive and user-friendly. Having lived in five different countries, this international exposure shaped his approach to customer service: open, culturally aware, and comfortable navigating diverse client needs.

He then spent nearly three years focused exclusively on analytics, gaining deep knowledge of data, KPIs, and operational steering. This dual background — rooted in customer experience but driven by numbers — is exactly what a company like LEASETEQ needs as it continues to scale its automated, data-powered leasing platform.

Six Years as COO in FinTech and Credit — A Direct Advantage for LEASETEQ

Before joining LEASETEQ, Vincent served six years as COO in both fintech and credit industries. Operating at the intersection of banking, regulation, technology, and customer experience, he brings an operational mindset shaped by environments where precision, compliance, and speed must coexist.

He has led teams through highly regulated financial processes, implemented scalable digital operations, and ensured that complex workflows remain efficient and customer-friendly. A passionate traveler who loves discovering new cultures and exploring different parts of the world, Vincent brings this curiosity and adaptability into his operational leadership. This gives him a unique strength: he understands both modern technology and the strict regulatory frameworks of the financial sector — and he knows how to bring them together into streamlined, compliant processes.

For LEASETEQ, which prides itself on combining speed with reliability, this blend is essential.

CEO of Neocredit — Strategic Leadership on Top of Operational Mastery

Another milestone in his career is his time at Neocredit, where he served first as COO for one year and then as CEO for more than 3.5 years. This period solidified his strategic skills: scaling operations, building partnerships, shaping teams, and guiding a fintech through the complexities of the Swiss market.

Vincent didn't just lead processes — he shaped organisations. He built structures, grew teams, and steered a company through digital transformation and competitive markets. His bond with Switzerland grew significantly during this period. Just last summer, he completed his MBA at the University of Bern, a milestone that he describes as making him feel more connected to Switzerland. His leadership style balances data-driven precision with the ability to appreciate life's simple pleasures — a trait that makes him effective in building strong, motivated teams.

This comprehensive leadership experience now benefits LEASETEQ as the company accelerates its market position and prepares for further international expansion.

Deep Knowledge of the DACH Market — A Key Advantage for LEASETEQ

The DACH financial and leasing landscape is one of the most demanding in Europe. It operates with its own regulatory frameworks, partner structures, customer expectations, and risk assessments. Vincent understands this environment in depth.

With his background in banking, fintech, credit solutions, and partner management across the region, he brings a clear understanding of how customers and partners in the DACH markets think, compare, and make decisions. His international mindset — results-oriented and comfortable navigating diverse teams and markets — combined with his deep Swiss focus, gives him a unique advantage in this region. For LEASETEQ, this translates into:

• sharper operational decisions

• more intuitive customer and partner processes

• stronger cross-market collaboration

• and products that fit the DACH region with precision

  
  

His expertise strengthens LEASETEQ's ambition to deliver European innovation with the reliability and efficiency expected in the DACH market.

A COO Who Connects People, Processes, and Technology

At LEASETEQ, Vincent joins an environment built for his strengths: a data-driven scale-up that values speed, automation, and operational clarity.

When asked what he appreciates most about Switzerland, Vincent highlights the stunning landscapes and the fact that Zurich is a truly metropolitan city, offering both global energy and exceptional quality of life. His long-term commitment to the country matches exactly with LEASETEQ's ambition to continue shaping the Swiss auto finance and financing industry.

His experience aligns perfectly with LEASETEQ's next growth steps:

• further automation of processes

• faster decision-making

• smarter use of data

• stronger partner journeys

• and operational readiness for international scaling

  
  

As a food enthusiast — and someone who enjoys a good beer in the sunshine, Vincent brings a well-rounded perspective that balances professional rigor with genuine human connection.

Dealerships, partners, and customers will benefit from the efficiency and structure he brings into every operational layer.
