Cleverbridge Risks and Challenges
In April 2025, Cleverbridge faces transitional risk as it enters a pivotal phase marked by a leadership change, with Richard Stevenson set to replace Wendi Sturgis as CEO and appointment of Markus Scheuermann as CFO. While Stevenson brings extensive experience in global SaaS and financial services, any executive turnover—especially following a growth-focused tenure—introduces potential strategic shifts, cultural adjustments, and operational realignment. Additionally, sustaining Cleverbridge’s momentum during this transition will be critical, particularly as the company navigates evolving client expectations and competitive pressures within the global eCommerce and merchant of record landscape.
