E-commerce platform Razor Group has appointed Jan Büchsenstein (PICTURED) as its new General Counsel, bringing extensive venture capital and banking expertise to the rapidly expanding start-up.

Büchsenstein is an experienced venture capital and banking expert who spent eleven years at Credit Suisse before transitioning to the fintech sector. Between 2020 and 2024, he served as Co-General Counsel at Berlin-based fintech Raisin, where he oversaw the integration of banking start-up Deposit Solutions. After taking a sabbatical and a brief period as an interim manager, he has now joined Razor Group as global General Counsel.
