About Alexa von Bismarck
Alexa von Bismarck is President of EMEA at Adyen, the payments company. She was promoted to the role in January 2022 and oversees commercial activity across the region, including twelve European branches and Dubai.
She joined Adyen in 2013 as the first employee in its Berlin office, built the German operation, and later became Country Manager for Germany. Before Adyen she worked in sales and product roles at finance companies, including Senior Sales Manager at Skrill in London. She holds a degree in Business Administration from the Technical University of Berlin.
The public record of her angel activity is thin. Crunchbase lists her among the investors in telli's 2026 funding round, and telli's CEO named her among the angels and supporters in his announcement. We found no public list of other angel investments, and no stated check sizes or fund.
telli is the one AI round we could confirm. The company builds AI for customer-facing operations for B2C businesses. It raised a $15M Seed (EUR 13.1M) in July 2026, led by redalpine with participation from Cherry Ventures, Y Combinator, and strategic investors and angels. According to the company, total funding is now $18.5M. Von Bismarck shared the announcement on LinkedIn.
She has not published an investment thesis, preferred stage, or check size. Her only confirmed AI investment is a Seed-stage company in customer operations. Her operating background is in payments, fintech and ecommerce, and she has posted publicly about Adyen's work on agentic commerce. Founders in those areas, or in European B2C software, are the closest match to her public experience, but this is an inference and not a stated focus.
