Jan Stechele, Chief Regulatory Officer at N26, will step
down from his position at the end of the third quarter of 2024. Stechele joined
the N26 Management Board in early 2023 in an interim capacity and has since
overseen the company’s regulatory affairs. He will now leave N26 to explore new
opportunities.
New Regulatory Chief Appointed
Stechele’s responsibilities will be transferred to Carina
Kozole, the Chief Risk Officer, as planned. Kozole has been with N26 since
November 2023, and she has worked closely with Stechele during this time.
Before joining N26, Stechele held various roles in the
financial sector. From October 2019 to April 2022, he served as Chief Product
Officer at creditshelf AG, a digital lending platform, which was later acquired
by Teylor.

Meanwhile, N26
has appointed Mayur Kamat as its new Chief Product Officer, as reported by Finance Magnates. Kamat brings
experience from companies like Agoda, Google, Microsoft, and Binance, where he
led product and design teams.
As CPO, he will oversee N26’s product and user experience
teams across Berlin, Barcelona, and Vienna, focusing on delivering the bank’s
global product strategy, including spending, saving, and investment features.
Broad Banking Background
Stechele also was a board member at the Digital Lending
Association from February 2021 to February 2022. Prior to that, Stechele spent
over 13 years at Bayerische Landesbank, where he held several senior positions,
including Senior Vice President of Group Strategy and Head of Marketing and
Sustainability Management.
Stechele commented on this move: “I am very proud to have
been part of N26’s journey over the last two years, working with its dynamic
and international team.”
“Through a period of intense regulatory scrutiny, we
have built a robust risk management function and one of the most advanced platforms
to combat financial crime in the European banking industry today.”
