Welcome, Lizelle!

We are proud to announce that Lizelle Van Schouwenburg has joined Tactile’s leadership team as our Chief Financial Officer (CFO).

Originally from South Africa, Lizelle brings with her almost 2 decades of experience in product finance, cost optimization and analytics, along with a strong focus on strategic business planning and scalability.

“Lizelle’s financial expertise and strategic mindset will be instrumental as we plan and scale the business. She will play a key role in strengthening our financial foundation and supporting Tactile’s next phase of growth. I look forward to partnering closely with Lizelle,” says Tactile CEO and co-founder, Asbjoern Soendergaard.

“I am thrilled to join such a talented and passionate team at Tactile and to dive into an industry that is as vibrant as it is complex,” says Lizelle. “While gaming is a new frontier for me, I am eager to learn the mechanics of this ever-evolving landscape during such a transformative time. I look forward to contributing my experience in strategic finance and process optimization, ensuring we have the structure and insight needed to support our amazing portfolio of games.”

Lizelle brings with her strong experience from a vast variety of industries and businesses. With a bachelor’s in Accounting and a master’s degree in Finance (Operations, Performance & Strategy Management), in 2019, she decided to relocate with her family to Copenhagen to pursue a full-time MBA, focusing on leadership and business acumen. Interestingly, this was not her first time in Copenhagen. She lived here for a year in 2010 when her husband was pursuing his MBA. Even though they moved back home after graduation, the city stayed with her and she always wanted to come back.

We asked Lizelle to share a fun-fact about herself: “I’m a total sports enthusiast who loves the energy of a game, whether I’m participating or cheering loudly, especially for the South African rugby and cricket teams!! Last year I decided to broaden my own horizons by joining a tennis club for the first time—turns out, you are never too old to learn something new!“

Lizelle, we’re so happy to have you join our Tactile team! We’re excited about the times ahead.
