Xplor Technologies Names Pamela Joseph as CEO, Justin LaChance as CFO

Embedded payments and commerce tech company Xplor Technologies has promoted Pamela Joseph to CEO and has named Justin LaChance as chief financial officer.

Joseph will replace Floris de Kort, who is moving back to Australia, while LaChance replaces Scott Maud, who is returning to New Zealand, Xplor Technologies said Tuesday (Oct. 4) in a press release.

Joseph will transition into the CEO role from her current position as executive chairperson. She has three decades’ experience leading and advising technology companies and currently sits on the boards of directors of Paychex, TransUnion and Adyen.

LaChance joins Xplor Technologies from Refinitiv, where he repositioned the company for growth and its sale to the London Stock Exchange Group. He has 20 years’ experience with both public and private companies, per the release.

“Pam brings invaluable industry perspectives, strategic vision and cultural leadership to Xplor as the company continues to execute on its ambitious growth plan,” said Advent International Managing Partner Jeff Paduch. “On behalf of the entire Board, I would also like to thank Floris and Scott for their service to the company, and welcome Justin to the executive team.”

Xplor Technologies was formed from the merger of payment solutions provider Clearent, of which Joseph was CEO, and business management software and integrated payments provider Transaction Services Group, of which de Kort was CEO, that was announced in February 2021.

“Floris has been instrumental in shaping our growth strategy, articulating the unique combination of software and payments that support ‘everyday life’ businesses,” Joseph said in the Tuesday press release. “Scott played a key role in assisting in the merger that created Xplor Technologies and all the work needed to financially integrate both companies. I thank them both for all their contributions to the company.”
