Dax Dasilva, CEO of Lightspeed, commented on the evolving landscape of the fintech sector, particularly in the context of the potential private acquisition of Montreal-based Nuvei. His remarks to La Presse reflect a growing interest in privatization, especially following KKR’s $255-million bid for MDF Commerce.
Despite his intrigue, Dasilva reaffirms his commitment to Lightspeed’s presence on the stock market and prioritizes streamlining and cost reduction. Lightspeed, with a significant investment from Investissement Québec, remains a key player in Quebec’s tech strategy to maintain its corporate roots within the province, as indicated by Innovation Minister Pierre Fitzgibbon.
