Solar power kit provider M-Kopa has appointed Rajeev Suri, a former Nokia CEO, to be the new board chair effective December 1, 2024.
Suri currently serves as the Chairman of Digicel and board director at Singtel.
He will provide critical oversight, strategic insights, and guidance to the M-Kopa leadership team.
M-Kopa hopes Suri’s executive and board-level expertise will help the fintech innovate and expand worldwide.
“We are thrilled to welcome Rajeev to the board as we enter this next phase of growth for the business,” said Jesse Moore, CEO & Co-Founder of M-KOPA.
“His proven leadership in steering international companies through periods of rapid expansion will be invaluable.”
M-Kopa provides financing solutions, including smartphones, to underbanked individuals, besides an ongoing financial relationship through its AI credit analytics and smartphone app.
Suri joins at a time when M-Kopa boasts over 5 million customers and more than $1.5 billion of credit deployed across five markets.
“M-KOPA represents one of the most exciting fintech propositions, not only in Africa but globally. Their use of leading-edge technologies and AI to solve the critical challenge of digital and financial inclusion is compelling and has the potential to change the way we think about consumers in emerging markets. I am excited to join this team and look forward to driving impactful solutions together,” Suri stated.
