The former Oracle and Adobe Campaign Sales Director brings 20 years of sales experience and will lead the company’s expansion into the French market

Optimove, the leading CRM Marketing Platform, announced today the appointment of Jeremy Remus as the company’s Head of France, overseeing sales and growth of the company’s French operation. The selection indicates Optimove’s rapid growth and determination to expand into new markets.

In his most recent role, Jeremy was the VP of Sales, France at Mediarithmics, a next-gen Data Management Platform.

In his new role, Jeremy will oversee Optimove’s sales operation in France and spearhead the company’s expansion into the French market, establishing a dedicated team and a new location for the business, in addition to the company’s existing USA, United Kingdom and Israel offices.

With a Customer Data Platform (CDP) at its core, Optimove helps data-rich brands across industries manage large-scale CRM marketing frameworks. By personalizing thousands of campaigns to hundreds of segments, Optimove allows brands to reach their customers with the right message on the right channel. Unlike other technologies that rely on common, rule-based orchestration, Optimove’s AI-driven solutions autonomously determine the next best action for each customer, eliminating marketers’ need to map every customer journey manually.

In the past 12 months, Optimove has continued its strong momentum, and its CRM Marketing platform has been recognized by research firms and customers alike:

Named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Cross-Channel Campaign Management.
Recognized as a Challenger in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Multichannel Marketing Hubs.
Received a 4.5/5.0 “Overall Score” and 95% “Willingness to Recommend” by clients on Gartner Peer Insights.
Positioned as a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Retail and CPG Customer Data Platform 2022 Vendor Assessment.

“We’re excited to welcome Jeremy to Optimove, to lead the company’s French operation,” said Moshe Demri, VP Revenue EMEA at Optimove.” Jeremy is a crucial addition to the team as we make our first steps toward expanding into the burgeoning French market. We are confident Jeremy’s experience and knowledge will enable us to make significant gains there. The French market needs a CDP solution that can provide an edge in addition to tangible and quantified evidence of success. Optimove, which is time and again recognized as a leader in the category, is the perfect solution for brands looking to transform their CRM Marketing strategies.”

“I’m excited to join Optimove and play a major role in the company’s expansion into the French market,” said Jeremy Remus. “I’m humbled and motivated by the trust vested in me by Optimove. The French market is very much a value and data-driven one, and it needs a tech solution that can provide substantial results for brands’ CRM Marketing activities. Knowing the French market inside and out, I’m confident that Optimove, which combines CDP with an AI-led CRM Marketing hub, will perfectly fit brands across all verticals. I look forward to the challenge of developing meaningful partnerships and helping the French market improve CRM Marketing practices and customer experiences.”

Optimove’s expansion into France continues its business acceleration strategy stemming from its latest funding round.

Tebex connects to the Paysafe API, extending beyond PaysafeCard to card processing and alternative payment methods including Openbucks in the US.

Paysafe (NYSE: PSFE) has expanded its partnership with video game monetization platform Tebex, adding card payments and additional alternative payment methods (APMs) through a single integration to the Paysafe API. The update was announced July 7, 2026 in London.

Tebex has integrated the Paysafe Gateway to support credit and debit card processing alongside APMs. Tebex said its checkout has offered Paysafe’s prepaid eCash product PaysafeCard since 2016, and the new API integration connects Tebex to a broader set of Paysafe payment products.

The integration also links Tebex to Paysafe’s branded APMs. Tebex Checkout is already live with Openbucks, which enables US gamers to pay online with cash using third-party gift cards purchased in-store at “67K+ locations,” or via Openbucks’ Obucks digital card sold through authorized online resellers.

Zak Cutler, President of Global Gaming at Paysafe, said: “We’re delighted to broaden our partnership with Tebex. In a highly competitive market, video game creatives need to satisfy gamers’ increasingly diverse transactional expectations. By connecting the Tebex Checkout to an exhaustive range of payment options, including recognizable brands like our Openbucks solution, the Paysafe Gateway will give Tebex and its customers an edge when it comes to streamlining, simplifying and ultimately optimizing the monetization of gaming.”

Liam Wiltshire, Vice President and GM of Tebex, commented: “At Tebex, we know payments are more than a transaction. They’re a critical part of how studios build relationships with their players and grow their games. Acting as an extension of the studio, our role is to remove the complexity of global payments, compliance, and support so teams can focus on creating amazing experiences. Expanding our partnership with Paysafe allows Tebex to offer greater choice and flexibility at checkout, helping our partners reach more players, reduce friction, and unlock new opportunities for growth.”

Expanded partnership sees video gaming monetization platform Tebex integrate to Paysafe API for card payments and multiple alternative payment methods

Paysafe (NYSE: PSFE), a global payments platform, today announced its expanded partnership with Tebex, the game monetization extension and growth platform for game servers and game studios. Tebex, which acts as an extension of a gaming studio, has integrated the Paysafe Gateway into its platform to enable video game merchants to provide their customers with true optionality when they transact – from card payments to alternative payment methods (APMs).

The Tebex Checkout has featured Paysafe’s flagship prepaid eCash solution PaysafeCard since 2016, and now, through a single, streamlined integration with the Paysafe API, it is connected to the company’s complete range of payment solutions. This includes seamless credit card and debit card payments, with all transactions processed in seconds by Paysafe.

The Gateway also connects Tebex to Paysafe’s suite of branded APMs, with the Tebex Checkout already live with the company’s Openbucks solution. Boasting strong brand recognition in the American video gaming community, this APM allows US gamers to pay online with cash using third-party gift cards, which can be bought in-store at 67K+ locations, or Openbucks’ own Obucks digital card, available for purchase online via authorized resellers.

With Openbucks and future Paysafe-powered solutions, Tebex continues to expand its network of local and alternative payment methods, enabling studios to reach players in more markets with payment options that reflect regional preferences and improve conversion rates with a seamless player experience.

Zak Cutler, President of Global Gaming at Paysafe, said: “We’re delighted to broaden our partnership with Tebex. In a highly competitive market, video game creatives need to satisfy gamers’ increasingly diverse transactional expectations.

F*Bastards says it now distributes content via 400+ operators worldwide

F*Bastards says its casino content is now available through more than 400 operators worldwide, marking a distribution milestone for the iGaming supplier as it continues to expand its portfolio and partner network.

In a company statement outlining its background, Co-Founder Ugnius Seskas said the team’s earlier attempt to build a game studio fell short due to positioning rather than production capability. “Looking back, we realised we weren’t missing talent. We were missing identity. We could build games, but we hadn’t built something people could remember. That lesson became the starting point for everything F*Bastards would later become.” says Co-Founder Ugnius Seskas.

The company said it intentionally built its brand around differentiation, including the decision to use the name F*Bastards despite the expectation it would split opinion among potential partners. The founders described early progress as incremental, driven by game releases, industry events, operator feedback and relationship-building, rather than a single breakout moment.

F*Bastards also pointed to a fundraising milestone in 2026, saying it secured its first seven-figure investment. The company positioned the round as validation of execution rather than an early-stage concept.

“From day one, the goal wasn’t to become the biggest supplier. It was to build something people would remember. We’ve come a long way, but in many ways, it still feels like we’re only getting started” says Co-Founder Ugnius Seskas.
