Pawel is such a talent and will make a fantastic addition to our senior team. He has an incredible drive and passion for making the world a more financially inclusive place, a vision we’ve long shared at Moniepoint, and I can’t wait to work with him to bring this to life.”
Moniepoint’s Inc. Chief Operating Officer Pawel Swiatek, said: “Since meeting Tosin last year, then visiting the Nigerian market, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about Moniepoint and the huge potential it has to create genuine, meaningful change.
