Swan appoints Camille Tyan as CEO to support its new growth phase

Swan is happy to announce the appointment of Camille Tyan as CEO, effective December 1, 2025. With this change, our co‑founder Nicolas Benady becomes President to focus on the strategic priorities that will shape Swan’s next decade.

This transition comes at a time of exceptional momentum for Swan. In 2024, we doubled both the number of accounts and card and transfer payment volumes, while accelerating its expansion across Europe. We now have nearly 300 employees, process more than €2 billion in transactions per month for over 150 European software providers, including Cegid, Visma, Pennylane, Lucca, Agicap, Indy, and Accountable.

Camille Tyan, Swan’s Deputy CEO since 2024 and a board member since 2020, now takes the helm to ensure the level of execution required in a period of exceptional growth. This governance change has a clear objective: strengthen Swan’s operational capacity and prepare the company to scale to a new level. He is a recognized entrepreneur and leader in the European fintech ecosystem: before joining Swan, he co‑founded and led several leading companies, including PayPlug, one of the first payment solutions dedicated to SMEs in France, as well as Numeral and Marble.

Since 2020, he has served on Swan’s supervisory board and became Deputy CEO in 2024, before becoming CEO in 2025. Camille is a graduate of Harvard and McGill.

“Swan is entering a new phase. In France, our partners already reach more than half of SMEs and microbusinesses, and we’re seeing the first signs of the same momentum in Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, and Italy. To fully seize this European opportunity, we will enhance the quality, efficiency, and scalability of our platform. Camille has been with Swan since the very beginning: no one knows our teams, our product, and our ambitions better. He brings that rare combination of rigor, structure, and leadership that a scale‑up like ours needs at this stage, where execution matters as much as vision.”
-- Nicolas Benady, President and co‑founder of Swan

With this leadership transition, Swan is doubling down on what makes us unique: rigorous execution, care for quality, and a culture that empowers Swanees to do their best work. We’re grateful to every team member whose ambition and craftsmanship brought us here, and we’re excited for what’s next as we scale across Europe together.

“I’m honored to take on this role at a moment when Swan is stepping up to a new dimension. We have an exceptional team, technology that proves itself every day, and accelerating demand across Europe. In the face of strong business growth, our priority is to invest in our operational capacity, our teams, and artificial intelligence. The goal is to reinforce quality and at‑scale execution, both essential to support our partners as they capture a transforming European SME banking market.”
