Founder And Ceo
Singapore, Sg
Founded TransferTo in 2006 on the idea that transferring money should be as easy as sending a text message. Raised $8.5m, grew the company profitably to 120 people and reached $3b annual turnover. Sold TransferTo in 2010 to Ingenico for $38m and continued to run the company as an independent business unit of a publicly listed company. Built a solid and global executive team spread across our main offices (Singapore, Dubai, London and Miami). In 2014 the management together with an outside investor bought out partially Ingenico. At the end of 2016, I hired and groomed a COO who could take my succession as CEO.TransferTo is a B2B mobile payment network, interconnecting financial institutions and mobile operators globally.
