MoneyHero Limited (NASDAQ: MNY) (“MoneyHero” or the “Company”), a leading platform for personal finance and digital insurance aggregation and comparison in Greater Southeast Asia, today announced the appointment of Hao Qian as the Company’s new permanent Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective immediately. Mr. Qian will report directly to MoneyHero’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Rohith Murthy, and the Company’s Board of Directors. He will be based at MoneyHero’s headquarters in Singapore.
Armed with over 17 years of diverse financial and leadership experience, Mr. Qian will oversee MoneyHero’s financial systems and teams, including accounting, capital markets, compliance, and investor relations. He will also play a key role in strategic finance initiatives, such as mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and commercial partnerships.
“After conducting a thorough and competitive search process for our next CFO, we ultimately identified Hao as being the clear choice for our Company,” said Mr Murphy. “Hao is a proven finance executive who has worked at globally respected organizations, including APAC-centric businesses and companies that are publicly traded on U.S. exchanges. Having recently listed on the Nasdaq ourselves, it was critical to find the right CFO who not only understands our model, markets, and mission, but also U.S. capital markets. Importantly, Hao has strong experience in scaling businesses and supporting ambitious growth strategies, and I am proud of our team for finding such an ideal candidate. I look forward to working closely together to build the business and drive shareholder value.”
Mr. Qian joins MoneyHero from Alibaba Group, where he held several senior finance positions over nearly eight years, including CFO of their Lazada business unit across multiple markets. Before Alibaba, he was a Senior Financial Analyst at Amazon and began his career with Credit Suisse as a Risk Analyst and later an Assistant Vice President in the global credit products division. Mr. Qian holds a Master of Business Administration from the Sloan School of Management at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Master of Science in Finance from the Rochester Institute of Technology. He completed his undergraduate degree at Fudan University in Shanghai, China.
“I am thrilled to begin my tenure as the next CFO of MoneyHero,” said Mr. Qian. “This is a dynamic company with an exceptional leadership team, a supportive Board of Directors, strong growth drivers, and powerful access to capital. The business model and plans for expansion are sound, and I am bullish on how we can scale and optimize the Company’s financial systems to better support MoneyHero’s continued growth and market leadership.”
With this appointment, Ivan Ho, who served as the interim CFO since February 8th, will return to his previous role as MoneyHero’s Group Finance Director, where he will collaborate closely with Mr. Qian.
