Enfuce sets new gold standard with appointment

Issuer processing powerhouse Enfuce, which is based in Espoo, Finland, with offices in Mariehamn, Finland, and in London, has appointed Norwegian Paralympic gold medallist Birgit Skarstein as its first-ever chief inspiration officer.

In this newly created role, Birgit will motivate and inspire Enfuce’s team, sharing her story of resilience and overcoming limits from both her sports career and advocacy work.

A six-time Paralympian, Birgit is a gold medallist from Tokyo 2020 and a silver medallist at Paris 2024, as well as a champion for accessibility and inclusion.

Birgit said: “It didn’t take long for me to fall in love with Enfuce. 

“There’s something special about the people, the culture, the energy – it’s this amazing combination of staying humble while dreaming big. 

“When I met Enfuce’s co-founders, Denise and Monika, I just knew this was meant to be. 

“I can't wait to work with all their incredible teams to share what I've learned about owning your success and what it takes to win big, while working to inspire broader change across the fintech industry.”

Denise Johansson, co-chief executive and co-founder at Enfuce, added: “Birgit perfectly embodies ‘sisu’ – the distinctly Finnish concept of extraordinary determination and resilience, even though she hails from our neighbouring Norway. 

“Her ability to transform challenges into opportunities mirrors our own uncompromising spirit and drive to exceed the ordinary. 

“We can’t think of anyone better to cultivate a winning mindset among our team and across the payments industry.”
