Flutterwave corporate and strategic developments

Overview

The Nigerian-founded payments technology company Flutterwave has undergone several leadership and strategic developments. The company appointed Morounke Olufemi as Global Chief Financial Officer, succeeding Mitesh Popat, who transitioned to a strategic adviser role. This appointment follows a period of significant growth, including a $170 million Series C funding round that helped the firm achieve a billion-dollar valuation.

During this period, Flutterwave expanded its service offerings by securing a Nigerian Microfinance Bank licence to hold deposits and acquiring the open banking platform Mono to strengthen its position in the open finance ecosystem.
