Fraud prevention solutions provider SEON has announced the appointment of Jimmy Fong as the new Chief Commercial Officer (CCO). The new CCO will be responsible for furthering the company’s sales and growth strategies. Previously, Fong was the Vice President of Sales for EMEA at InAuth (acquired by American Express) and Enterprise Sales Director for Cybersource (acquired by VISA). He has experience in technology and marketplaces and is a vocal advocate for fraud prevention.

Fong commented on his appointment, “To fight a fraudster you have learn how to be one step ahead, this means becoming ruthless, innovative and relentless. This is a mindset my colleagues and SEON founders Bence and Tamas were forced to adopt when they saw that existing fraud prevention technology was failing. I have worked in the fraud industry for many years and have seen first-hand the complacency that is endemic – even with some of the largest names.”

“To work with SEON, where we are tailoring the solution to the actual fight we are facing, is refreshing and effective. The business is already reaping the rewards of its laser-focused approach; profitable within 2 years and a 200% revenue increase in 2019. I look forward to being part of a team that improves on the fight against fraud and protects online business properly.”

Founded in 2017 in Budapest, SEON helps businesses of all sizes to fight against fraud. It aims to remove the barriers to fraud prevention that many businesses face, with rapid integration times, rolling monthly contracts and a one-size-fits-all platform that is easy to operate and is accessible 24/7.

Tamas Kadar, CEO of SEON commented, “To say that it was perfect timing when we discovered Jimmy is not an understatement. His experience and enthusiasm make him uniquely placed to perform the role of Chief Commercial Officer, and we are delighted to have him onboard. With a team as exciting as this, we are convinced SEON is set to become a world-class company that is top of mind when it comes to an end-to-end fraud prevention solution.”
