Payments platform Fave announced that it has appointed Arvindd Selvaratnam as its Regional Chief Product Officer.
Arvindd will be overseeing the company’s regional product roadmap and strategic planning, and will be leveraging various emerging opportunities for Fave in their next phase of growth.
As CPO, Arvindd will be leading product design and development efforts to further accelerate Fave’s direction in the BNPL sector.
Arvindd brings with him a range of experiences from digital telco, product development and digital payment verticals from previous stints in Malaysia and Cambodia.
Previously holding the position of product lead at TNG Digital, he simultaneously managed online and offline product domains, cross border payments, and in-app bill payments.
Arvindd was also part of the founding team at Axiata’s fintech arm Boost where he led the product team focused on growing its user base and providing the best user experience for customers.
This comes on the heels of the recent appointment of Gary Yeoh as the Country Manager for Malaysia to oversee the day-to-day business operations.
Fave said that it will be expanding its product and engineering teams and is hiring over 20 roles to work on various payment solutions.
Joel Neoh, CEO of Fave Group commented on the recent appointment,
“Arvindd’s product and fintech ecosystem expertise will be instrumental in building towards Fave’s mission in making shopping rewarding and special.
He will be responsible for providing consumers with simpler and more convenient ways to shop online and offline, increase affordability and innovate on fintech product offerings across the region.”
Arvindd Selvaratnam, Regional Chief Product Officer at Fave said,
“I am excited to be part of the team that is committed to facilitating rewarding and affordable digital shopping experiences in addition to collaborating with the ecosystem to bring smooth payment solutions to customers and merchants at scale through our partners.
It is high time to join Fave at the growth stage with buy now pay later and online shopping becoming salient parts of consumer behaviour in SEA markets.”
