Financial product comparison platform MoneyHero announced the immediate appointment of Rohith Murthy as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
His appointment comes on the heels of Prashant Aggarwal’s resignation, which took effect on 20 February 2024. Aggarwal, who guided MoneyHero from its early stages to its current status as a publicly traded company on the Nasdaq, will continue to support the firm in an advisory role.
Murthy has over 20 years of experience in product innovation, digital banking, and operations, having held leadership roles at Citi, Siam Commercial Bank, and Standard Chartered Bank, working across Singapore, Thailand, and Central and Eastern Europe.
Previously the Chief Business Officer of MoneyHero, Murthy steps into his new role with a decade of experience within the company, marking him as the longest-serving executive.
His tenure includes the creation of the SingSaver brand and the B2B platform Creatory, contributing to the company’s revenue and marking a pivotal shift in its product and technology strategy.
“It is an incredible honor to lead MoneyHero. This company has accomplished so much in my nearly ten years here, and we still have significant growth opportunities in front of us.
To seize them, we will focus sharply, move faster, and foster a culture of high performance and diversity. Our goal is to dramatically increase the value for our users, partners, creators, and shareholders, collectively transforming the financial services industry in Southeast Asia and beyond.”
said Murthy.
“As I transition from my role as CEO, I want to thank the exceptional individuals across the company for their unwavering dedication and hard work throughout the years. My deepest appreciation also goes out to our stakeholders for their steadfast support.
MoneyHero is now a true market leader and well-positioned for future success. I remain committed to collaborating closely with Rohith and the Board to facilitate a seamless transition, while also maintaining my support for MoneyHero as a customer, shareholder, and enthusiastic advocate.”
said Aggarwal.
