Bango chair Darcy Antonellis on governance, growth and opportunity
Published: 10:50 06 Aug 2026 EDT
Bango PLC (AIM:BGO, OTCQX:BGOPF) non-executive chair Darcy Antonellis talks to Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about her background, why she joined Bango, and how she sees the company's opportunity as the subscription economy evolves. Drawing on senior leadership experience at Warner Bros. and Vubiquity, she explains what drew her to the role.
Antonellis outlined Bango's two core businesses - payments and subscription management - and why its Digital Vending Machine (DVM) platform is well placed to serve merchants, brands and telecom operators as subscription demand grows, particularly among younger consumers.
She set out her governance priorities as chair: transparency, financial clarity and strong investor engagement. Reflecting on Bango's latest trading update, she points to improving financials and deepening customer relationships, and highlights partnerships with Amazon, Google, Microsoft and major telecom operators as validation of the strategy.
One metric stood out: "The one metric that's very interesting to me was overall net revenue retention, 119%" - evidence, she said, that existing customers are expanding their use of Bango's services.
Antonellis also sees scope to raise Bango's profile among investors in key markets.
