The new leadership duo at Rubean AG officially took office today, with Stephan Kuck joining Jochen Pielage as Co-CEO. Kuck, formerly CEO of Computop Paygate GmbH, will oversee sales and revenue growth, aiming to leverage Rubean's market-leading position in Germany and Spain and expand into other European and American markets.
“I’m looking forward to working together and, above all, to Rubean now being able to better capitalize on its enormous opportunities in the market,” said Pielage. Kuck added, “I know the company very well from the long-standing collaboration between Computop and Rubean, and I’m looking forward to further expanding the already significant growth.”
Rubean replaces traditional card readers with a software app (SoftPOS), enabling retailers, food service, delivery services, and other businesses to accept cashless and mobile payments without additional hardware. The company is already a leader in Germany and Spain and has entered markets in Switzerland, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the Americas with support from major banks and payment service providers.
Former Chief Sales Officer Dr. Hermann Geupel will remain as Sales Director for the DACH region. Rubean plans to further expand sales operations and strengthen partnerships, potentially through capital measures.
The appointment of Kuck signals a strategic push to accelerate growth. “This leadership change underscores Rubean’s commitment to scaling its innovative SoftPOS solution globally,” said an industry analyst. With the shift towards contactless payments accelerating, Rubean’s software-only approach positions it to capture significant market share.
