Ioannina, Greece, 10 March 2025 – Natech Banking Solutions, the leading banking technology platform in Southern Europe, is reinforcing its leadership team with the appointment of George Nikolaropoulos as Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and George Rogkakos as Chief Product Officer (CPO). These strategic moves underline Natech’s commitment to scaling innovation, accelerating digital transformation, and becoming a world-class product-driven company.

Driving Innovation: A New CTO to Shape Natech’s Technology Strategy

George Nikolaropoulos joins Natech this month as an accomplished technology architect and leader, bringing deep expertise in banking, insurance, maritime, and marketing research industries. Passionate about AI, product development, and technology strategy, he has a track record of building and leading engineering teams that create products once thought impossible—on time, and with customer impact at the core.

With strong leadership in engineering management, digital transformation, and deep learning pipelines, George is set to elevate Natech’s technology vision and execution. As CTO, he will focus on enhancing the company’s modular banking platform, expanding its cloud-native capabilities, and fostering a culture of trust, collaboration, and creativity that empowers both Natech’s teams and its customers.

“Natech is at a pivotal moment in its growth journey, and I’m excited to join a company that is shaping the future of banking technology,” said George Nikolaropoulos, CTO, Natech Banking Solutions. “My focus will be on driving innovation, scaling our engineering teams, and ensuring our technology delivers on its promise to transform financial institutions with speed and agility.”

From Engineer to CPO: George Rogkakos to Lead Product Vision

As part of its shift towards a product-first strategy, Natech is introducing the CPO role, with George Rogkakos taking the helm. A longtime Natech leader, George started at the company in 2014 as a software engineer before progressing through roles as Chief Innovation Officer and then Products Director. His deep technical expertise, customer focus, and strategic vision have helped shape Natech’s product roadmap and position the company as a top provider of modular banking solutions.

As CPO, George will lead the company’s product vision, ensuring Natech’s platform continues to evolve with the needs of financial institutions while maintaining a seamless, customer-centric experience. His appointment reflects Natech’s commitment to scaling its product organization and delivering world-class, future-proof banking technology.

“With our strengthened leadership team, we are reinforcing our ambition to be a true product-driven company,” said Thanasis Navrozoglou, CEO & President of Natech Banking Solutions. “The appointments of our CTO and CPO roles complete our executive structure, ensuring we remain at the forefront of financial technology innovation.”
