Lynx Tech Welcomes Venancio Gallego Vindel as New CEO of Lynx Financial Crime

A Leader Built for Today

Madrid | February 2, 2026. The fight against financial crime demands more than cutting-edge technology – it demands leaders who understand the landscape from the inside out. Venancio brings nearly three decades of experience at the intersection of financial services and technology, making him uniquely equipped to lead Lynx Tech into its next phase of global growth.

Over the course of his career, Venancio has held senior leadership roles in technology, operations, and commercial strategy across some of the most dynamic organizations in fintech and payments. For the past 14 years he has been closely linked to Ebury, the global fintech powerhouse specializing in international payments, where for 10 of those years he served as Chief Operations Officer. In that role, he led the international growth and backoffice expansion of the company, scaling its operations across markets worldwide. Since 2022, he has served as a non-executive director for Ebury’s European business and as a strategic advisor — bringing the full depth of that institutional knowledge to bear.

Prior to Ebury, Venancio co-founded technology ventures and held executive roles in software development, mobility, web and cybersecurity. He has also worked with leading organizations in telecommunications and consulting.

Accelerating our mission

At Lynx, our mission is clear: to stay one step ahead of fraud and financial crime through advanced, self-learning AI – protecting financial institutions, their customers, and the integrity of the global financial system.

With Venancio at the helm, we enter 2026 with renewed momentum and sharp focus. His operational expertise, international track record, and deep understanding of the payments and fintech ecosystem are exactly what Lynx needs to accelerate global expansion, deepen client partnerships, and continue pushing the boundaries of what AI can achieve in fraud prevention.

As Lynx continues to protect more than 300 million users and 58 billion transactions annually across 9 countries, the next chapter is about scaling that impact — faster, further, and with greater precision than ever before.

Looking Ahead

Financial crime does not stand still. Fraudsters grow more sophisticated by the day, leveraging AI and automation to execute attacks at unprecedented speed and scale. At Lynx, we meet that challenge with our Daily Adaptive Models — technology that retrains itself daily, detects entire fraud networks, and adapts to new patterns before they cause harm.

Under Venancio’s leadership, Lynx will continue to invest in innovation, grow its global footprint, and deliver the kind of transformational outcomes our clients have come to expect.

We are proud to welcome Venancio to the Lynx family and look forward to everything we will build together.
