N26 recently appointed Adrienne Gormley as the new Chief Operating Officer and Diana Styles as the Chief People Officer. Both of the new executives will be reporting directly to N26 co-founder and CFO Maximilian Tayenthal and will be based out of the company headquarters in Berlin.

Gormley will be responsible for overseeing the company’s customer service, business operations, service experience and workplace divisions. Previously, Gormley spent around 20 years working with technology leaders like Google and Dropbox.

“I’m thrilled to be joining N26 at a time full of opportunity. With more people turning to digital banking than ever before, I believe that we can be the first to pioneer a truly world-class, fully-digital service experience in banking that can set the standard for the future of this industry,” Gormley shared.

Former Adidas executive Diana Styles will be overseeing the Employee Experience, Leadership and Organizational Development, Recruiting, Employer Brand, Rewards and People Operations divisions. Styles brings decades of experience across talent retention, leadership development, equity and inclusion and building capabilities for sustainable growth.

“N26 has been on a truly incredible journey to transform an industry as a disrupter, challenger and pioneer. Having grown its team to a 1,500-strong workforce of 80 nationalities in just five years, I’m extremely excited to further strengthen the N26 culture and talent pool and build a world-class employee experience that matches the organization’s next chapter of transformational growth and change,” said Styles.

“It’s a great pleasure to welcome these two outstanding professionals to the N26 family. Both Diana and Adrienne are accomplished leaders, with proven track records in their respective fields and a true belief in the N26 vision to transform banking for the better. As we work towards our vision to serve 100 million customers globally, their skills and expertise will help us lay all-important foundations for us to achieve our ambitions, and I could not be happier to have them with us as we embark on the next leg of our growth journey,” said Maximilian Tayenthal, Chief Financial Officer and co-founder of N26.
