About this listen

In this fascinating interview, Kevin Jones, the CEO of Celero Commerce, which provides payment processing services, business management software, and data intelligence on a single holistic platform, discusses the leadership challenges and solutions for leading high growth through Mergers and Acquisitions.

Celero’s leadership team has completed 6 acquisitions since its inception. That's untypical for a young company.

Among Kevin's insights:

  • The need to have a strong core leadership team

  • Culture fit as a prerequisite for an acquisition

  • How culture evolves as the company absorbs new cultures

  • The shift from culture-fit to culture-blend

  • Transparent communication as a key leadership style

  • How to run business-as-usual concurrently with M&A activity

  • The importance of leveraging efficiencies to scale up quickly


Kevin founded Celero in 2018, and 2.5 years later, it’s the 16th largest non-bank payment processor in the United States, serving more than 25,000 businesses.

He began his fin-tech career at Chase Paymentech. He is the former President of SignaPay, and former CEO of Anovia Payments, which he led to a successful exit.
