    Business Trumpet: Lagos based tech company Klasha Appoints Ayman Jawhar as New Chief Product Officer (CPO)

    Klasha, a Lagos and San Francisco -based technology company transforming cross-border African commerce has appointed Ayman Jawhar as its Chief Product Officer.

    Ayman will be based in the United Kingdom and joins Klasha with over 15 years’ experience in product consultation, development, and management across renowned brands such as PayPal, Miro, Prodigy Finance, and Next47.

    From creating experiences such as PayPal’s new mobile-first business account to leading new product line expansions across Africa, the Middle East and Europe, Ayman is an expert in start-up product management at various stages of a company’s lifecycle.

    His skills are diverse and include working as a freelance advisor to start-ups, for venture capital firms as an in-house product expert, and co-building the first Product Management course for MBA students at the leading world business school – INSEAD – where he still participates as a lecturer.

    Ayman’s appointment follows a rapid few months of scaling by Klasha, during which the company has hired a new Chief Commercial Officer from Mastercard – Nile Younis, and completed a $4.5 million seed funding round backed by Amex Ventures and Global Ventures, the leading MEA-focused venture capital firm. Klasha has also signed up over 2,000 merchants and processed 250,000 transactions, continuing its month-on-month growth.
