Geoffroy is a seasoned Information Technology professional who has been active in the financial services industry in Luxembourg for the last 25 years. At LUXHUB, he will be in charge of the operational efficiency of the company, its products and services, as well as functioning processes.
In his new role of COO, he will therefore ensure the smooth operation of a business-critical 24x7 service delivery based on LUXHUB’s platform and IT infrastructure. More generally, Geoffroy will push for the promotion of a company culture made of accountability, collaboration and innovation.
From IT to consulting, and now entering the Fintech world

Geoffroy has an impressive track record and has developed over the last two and a half decades a strong understanding of the local ecosystem, network and best practices. With his extensive experience in the financial sector, the newly appointed COO notably specialises in strategic solutions delivery, operational efficiency, and transformation programmes.
“It is with great honour and with a lot of ambition that I join LUXHUB, with the mission to take the company to the next level in terms of operational excellence and tech processes. My goal will be to enable the further development of the company, leaning on past successes but more importantly on a future-oriented vision. With the recent European Commission legislative proposals, we at LUXHUB, all expect Open Finance to skyrocket and envision great potential for all stakeholders: financial institutions, third-party providers, Fintechs, and actually any public or private company. Those are exciting times for the entire financial services industry!” highlighted Geoffroy Gailly.
The new COO will support the development of LUXHUB in terms of operating models and strategy while putting in place a clear transformation/evolution roadmap. Geoffroy will also share his knowledge and experience on key topics such as operational processes design, modelling, improvement, industrialisation and automation.
“With his 25 years of experience in the tech and operations fields, and a deep industry knowledge, we are confident that Geoffroy will play a key role in shaping the future of our company and driving us towards new ventures. New regulation and the opening of financial data is already creating interesting opportunities that we have started to explore. Geoffroy’s arrival matches with the new ambitions we’ve already expressed, notably through the launch of LUXHUB CESOP and our upcoming Account Verification Platform,” concluded Claude Meurisse, CEO of LUXHUB.
