AMSTERDAM, 27 May 2026 - Adyen N.V. (AMS: ADYEN) today announced that Chief Financial Officer Ethan Tandowsky has decided to step down from his role, effective 31 August, 2026. Tandowsky will leave the company to pursue an external opportunity outside of fintech. The Adyen Supervisory Board will initiate a comprehensive search process to identify his successor.
Tandowsky joined Adyen in 2016 and has served as CFO since 2023. During his almost ten years with the business, he has been a core member of the leadership team, overseeing the company's global finance operations through significant periods of growth.
"Ethan has been a constant part of the Adyen journey for nearly a decade," said Pieter van der Does and Ingo Uytdehaage, Co-CEOs of Adyen. "We regret his decision but value his contribution and his trusted partnership on the executive team."
"I would like to thank Ethan for all he has done during his tenure with Adyen," said Piero Overmars, Chair of the Supervisory Board at Adyen. "Though we are surprised by the timing, we respect his decision to take on a new challenge and wish him the best."
"My time at Adyen has been incredibly rewarding," said Ethan Tandowsky. "I am proud of our shared achievements, the financial foundation we have built, and I have absolute confidence in Adyen's future. As I make a personal decision to step outside of fintech to pursue a completely new path, my priority is ensuring a smooth transition and continued momentum over the coming months."
Adyen will provide updates on the search process in due course.
