Former Tourlane CFO and ex-Goldman Sachs banker joins the leadership team to lead finance, capital, and M&A as NexDash builds Europe's first Neo-Carrier.
Berlin, 05 August 2026 — NexDash, the Berlin-based Neo-Carrier electrifying European road freight, today announced the appointment of Franck Pascault as Chief Financial Officer. The move strengthens the company's senior leadership as NexDash accelerates its acquisitions and fleet electrification.
He joins NexDash from Tourlane, a leading global tech-enabled travel company, where as CFO & Managing Director he spent six years scaling the business multiple times over. Before Tourlane, he spent close to a decade in investment banking, notably at Goldman Sachs in London. Franck brings the full spectrum of what building a Neo-Carrier demands: capital markets and structured finance expertise, M&A execution, and hands-on experience driving financial and business performance in a high-growth company.
At NexDash, Franck will oversee finance end to end — from financial strategy and reporting to the capital and M&A work behind the company's mission to consolidate, transform, and electrify Europe's freight network.
"I am extremely excited to join the NexDash mission: transforming one of Europe's largest and least digitized industries — and cutting real carbon emissions at scale," said Franck Pascault, Chief Financial Officer at NexDash. "NexDash is rethinking freight from the ground up: technology, capital, and operations combined — led by category-defining entrepreneurs and logistics thought-leaders. The last decade belonged to neobanks; I'm joining NexDash because I believe the next one belongs to neo-carriers."
"Buying and electrifying trucking companies is a capital and M&A game as much as an operational one — and that's exactly where Franck has spent his career. Having him lead finance means we can move faster and think bigger. Great to have him on the leadership team," says Michael Cassau, Founder and CEO of NexDash.
