xpenditure (acquired by Sodexo Group)

After the huge success of our flagship Xpenditure, we renamed Cardwise in 2014 to Xpenditure. Xpenditure is a web-based and mobile B2B end-to-end solution for expense & receipt management. Our mission was killing the traditional expense note.  As CEO and co-founder I managed a extreme high growth phase (double digit monthly). We went from small SAAS startup to a healthy scale-up with more then 7.000 happy B2B customers in 40 countries (Deloitte, Henkel, Miele, PWC,...). 
In March 2017 we sold the company successfully to Sodexo Group to create a new venture including business travel named Rydoo.
