Additionally, Mr. Qian will play a key role in strategic finance initiatives, including M&A and commercial partnerships.

"After conducting a thorough and competitive search process for our next CFO, we ultimately identified Hao as being the clear choice for our Company," said Mr. Murthy. "Hao is a proven finance executive who has worked at globally respected organizations, including APAC-centric businesses and companies that are publicly traded on U.S. exchanges. Having recently listed on the Nasdaq ourselves, it was critical to find the right CFO who not only understands our model, markets, and mission, but also U.S. capital markets. Importantly, Hao has strong experience in scaling businesses and supporting ambitious growth strategies, and I am proud of our team for finding such an ideal candidate. I look forward to working closely together to build the business and drive shareholder value."

Mr. Qian joins MoneyHero from Alibaba Group, where he held numerous senior finance positions over his nearly eight years with the global ecommerce giant, including serving as CFO of their Lazada business unit across multiple markets.

He completed his undergraduate degree at Fudan University in Shanghai, China.

"I am thrilled to begin my tenure as the next CFO of MoneyHero," said Mr. Qian. "This is a dynamic company with an exceptional leadership team, a supportive Board of Directors, strong growth drivers, and powerful access to capital. The business model and plans for expansion are sound, and I am bullish on how we can scale and optimize the Company's financial systems to better support MoneyHero's continued growth and market leadership."
