Snappi CEO is the first woman representing Greece to be included in the initiative

Gabriella Kindert, CEO of Snappi, has been named to Sifted’s 100 Women in Tech in Europe, an initiative recognising women contributing to Europe’s technology ecosystem. In the second edition of the list, she is the first woman representing Greece to be included.

Kindert’s inclusion also marks a first for Greece and comes at a time when the country is building a stronger presence in Europe’s technology and fintech landscape.

Kindert has led Snappi through its development and launch as Greece’s first neobank licensed by the European Central Bank. From its roots in Ioannina, Snappi has brought together Greek and international talent around a simple ambition: to make banking more human, transparent and relevant to people’s everyday lives.

For Kindert, the recognition is above all a reflection of the people and collective effort behind that journey.

Gabriella Kindert, CEO of Snappi, said: “I am deeply grateful for this recognition, but I see it very much as something shared. Building Snappi has never been the work of one person. It is the work of an extraordinary team and of many people who believed that something new could be built from Greece.

“I have always believed that leadership is about creating the conditions for other people to grow and flourish, while standing firmly behind them when they need you. There is very little room for ego in that. And perhaps the same is true when building a bank. Trust is not something we are entitled to. We have to earn it, step by step, through what we do for our customers, our people and the communities around us.”

Now in its second year, Sifted’s 100 Women in Tech in Europe highlights female founders, operators, investors and ecosystem builders contributing to Europe’s technology sector.

Kindert’s inclusion comes a little over a year after Snappi entered the Greek market. While the recognition carries her name, she sees it as another encouraging sign that companies and talent building from Greece can increasingly be part of the wider European technology conversation.
