Gauthier Henroz is Co-Founder and CEO of Chift, a Brussels-based B2B SaaS company building the financial connectivity layer for European software, enabling seamless integrations across 120+ financial systems through a single unified API.

Gauthier studied at the Louvain School of Management and gained experience in the European startup ecosystem, including membership at Réseau Entreprendre Bruxelles and Start it @KBC, before co-founding Chift in 2022 alongside Henry and Matthieu Hertoghe.

Gauthier identified a critical gap in the market: SMEs across Europe were trapped by fragmented, costly, and complex software integrations, and he pivoted Chift early in 2022 from an integrator platform to a unified API model that unlocked rapid growth.

Under Gauthier's leadership, Chift was selected as one of the 40 most promising companies at Station F in Paris and attracted top-tier European fintechs such as Revolut, Qonto, Pennylane, and Mollie as clients.

Chift has grown to serve more than 150 software companies, connecting over 50,000 SMEs across 10+ European countries, and achieved more than tenfold revenue growth between its 2024 Seed round and its 2026 Series A raise of 10.5M euros.
