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.
