MoneyHero Limited (NASDAQ: MNY) (“MoneyHero” or the “Company”), a
market-leading personal finance and digital insurance aggregation
and comparison platform in Greater Southeast Asia, today announced
the promotion of distinguished global executive, Shravan Thakur, to
Chief Commercial Officer (“CCO”), effective March 20, 2024. Prior
to this appointment, Mr. Thakur had previously served as
MoneyHero’s Group Co-Head of Commercial since November 2022, where
he oversaw the Company’s commercial strategies in Hong Kong and
Taiwan, as well as the formation of a strategic partnership with
TransUnion for MoneyHero’s pivotal credit scoring offerings. He
joined the Company in April 2021 as the General Manager of Hong
Kong.
In his new role as CCO, Mr. Thakur will work
directly with MoneyHero’s Chief Executive Officer, Rohith Murthy,
the Company’s management team, and the Board of Directors to
optimize all MoneyHero’s commercial operations throughout Greater
Southeast Asia. Specifically, Mr. Thakur will oversee:
- Development and implementation of
MoneyHero’s go-forward commercial strategies;
- Growth and diversification of
revenue streams across the Company’s integrated business
units;
- Improvement of enterprise-wide
profitability;
- Development and enhancement of
corporate partnerships; and
- Scaling the Company’s commercial
and analytics departments with top talent, technology, and other
strategic resources.
Mr. Thakur brings more than 20 years of senior
commercial and operational experience to this CCO role, including
three years with MoneyHero. Prior to joining the Company, Mr.
Thakur previously held executive roles with several prominent
global companies, including American Express and
PricewaterhouseCoopers. His areas of expertise include growth and
transformational strategies, business development, P&L
management, partnership programs, team building, and broader
corporate affairs. He will split his time between Hong Kong and
MoneyHero’s headquarters in Singapore.
“I am thrilled to take this next step with
MoneyHero, which has become the largest and most dynamic player in
the personal finance aggregation and comparison sector in Greater
Southeast Asia,” said Mr. Thakur. “Between our existing
infrastructure, stellar reputation, years of sustained performance,
and unique and deep access to capital through our successful U.S.
listing last year, MoneyHero has never been better positioned for
the future. I am excited about the opportunities that lay ahead and
look forward to scaling the business—while improving
profitability—against a complex backdrop of accelerated
digitization, product innovation, and ever-evolving consumer
preferences.”
The promotion of Mr. Thakur to CCO comes as part
of MoneyHero’s efforts to expand its executive team and platform
after its successful listing on Nasdaq. The Company, which has
dramatically outpaced the performance of peers in the marketplace,
saw unaudited fiscal year 2023 enterprise-wide revenue growth of
more than 20% year-over-year (“YoY”) and Q4 2023 revenue growth of
more than 60% YoY. In the key markets of Singapore and Hong Kong,
MoneyHero saw over 130% and 40% YoY Q4 revenue growth,
respectively1. This positive performance was driven by continued
investments that enhance and diversify the MoneyHero platform,
while efficiently capturing greater market share. These investments
include significant initiatives with the Company’s insurance
offerings and substantial scaling of MoneyHero’s unique B2B2C
platform, Creatory, which is now a major contributor to the
Company’s integrated revenue streams. The Company will continue to
execute on this ‘buy-versus-build’ approach throughout 2024 and
beyond to maintain its growth rate and further-dominate market
share across Greater Southeast Asia.
“On behalf of MoneyHero, I want to congratulate
Shravan on his well-deserved promotion as we cap off another year
of strong performance and embark on a new journey of ambitious
growth,” said Rohith Murthy, CEO. “Looking forward in 2024, we are
poised for accelerated revenue increases across our platform,
fueled by our team's proven ability to scale efficiently and
organically. In fact, subject to the risks regarding
forward-looking statements highlighted by the Company in this press
release and its public filings, MoneyHero is set to surpass the key
threshold of $100 million in enterprise-wide revenues this year,
aiming also to achieve adjusted EBITDA positivity—a feat unmatched
by any personal finance aggregation platform in our region. Our
strategic approach is proving successful, keeping us committed to
delivering exceptional value to all our stakeholders.”
