Hercle Appoints Gabriele Zuliani as Chief Revenue Officer

Hercle, the leading institutional cross-border payments infrastructure company, today announced the appointment of Gabriele Zuliani as Chief Revenue Officer. Zuliani joins to drive commercial strategy and revenue growth as Hercle scales its network of 200+ institutional clients — including banks, fintechs, PSPs, and corporate treasuries — across global corridors.

In the new role, Zuliani will take full ownership of Hercle's commercial engine, spanning Sales, Account Management, Business Development, Marketing, and Client Onboarding, with a mandate to convert the company's institutional footprint into repeatable revenue growth across global corridors.

Zuliani brings over 20 years of payments and fintech leadership, most recently as Chief Revenue Officer of Bitso Business, where he led the B2B division's commercial functions across Latin America. Prior to that, he spent 14 years at Mastercard, holding SVP-level roles spanning Cross Border Services, Enterprise Partnerships, Market Development for Latin America, and General Manager of the Caribbean — a $100M+ P&L covering more than 20 markets and 60 financial institutions.

"Institutional demand for stablecoin payment infrastructure has shifted from exploratory to operational. We're seeing it in our pipeline, in the conversations financial institutions are having about MiCA, and in the corridors they're trying to open. Gabriele's appointment is a direct response to this — Hercle is moving from building to scaling, and we're putting the commercial leadership in place to match the opportunity."

— Gabriele Sabbatini, CEO and Co-founder, Hercle

"Stablecoins are on track to become the default infrastructure for cross-border payments. Banks, PSPs, and corporates have moved past proof-of-concept — they're asking who can deliver these rails at institutional standards, across the corridors they actually need. Hercle was built to solve exactly for that, and I am excited to join the team and contribute to accelerating our growth."

— Gabriele Zuliani, Chief Revenue Officer, Hercle
