PastBook appoints Wouter Staatsen new CEO 

To take the company to the next level of growth, PastBook, the global platform for one click photo products, has announced several changes to its leadership team. Wouter Staatsen, a senior executive with proven track record in the online photo printing industry, was appointed CEO of one Europe’s fastest growing companies, according to the Financial Times, and the winner of Deloitte Fast50 for the Media & Entertainment category. In his new role as CEO of the company, Staatsen replaces Pastbook’s founder Stefano Cutello, who continues with the company as its Chief Product & Innovation Officer.

Recently, Daniel Scheijen, former Country Manager Benelux at Albelli, CMO at Tiqets and Commercial Director at Vacanceselect, started with Pastbook as the company’s new Chief Marketing Officer.

Before joining Pastbook, Wouter Staatsen has served as the CEO of Albelli and Vice President at Cimpress. He has been engaged with PastBook since 2018 as board advisor. ”I am impressed by what Stefano and his team have built in the last years, reaching a global audience of millions of users, with PastBook’s frictionless online photo book creation experience”, the new CEO commented his assignment. „There will always be a desire to capture, preserve and share your memories. But technology is fundamentally changing the way all of us are using photography. As the cost of taking pictures has gone down to almost zero, billions of digital memories are currently sitting idle on people’s cameras or smartphones. It is our mission to turn digital memories into beautiful photo products, at the click of a button.“

”It has been an invaluable learning experience leading PastBook through the rollercoaster that brought it to where it is today: from a side project in my free time while I was still at eBay, to one of Europe’s fastest growing companies with millions customers all over the world”, added Stefano Cutello. „I’m immensely proud and excited to pass on the keys of my not-startup-anymore to Wouter and work together with him and a strengthened leadership team to continue building PastBook success. With more time for me now to spend on product strategy and innovation, I can’t wait to provide people with more effortless ways to relive their memories. Ad maiora!”
