CurveLondon-based FinTech Curve has announced the appointment of Cuong Do as an independent Board director.

Shachar Bialick, Founder and CEO of Curve, said, “We are delighted to welcome Cuong to Curve’s Board. His extensive experience across key industries, most recently with Samsung, is an ideal fit for us. As the financial environment continues to evolve globally, and as Curve continues to grow, Cuong’s expertise in developing and implementing global business strategy will help position and support Curve to deliver long-term value as it matures. Cuong will work closely with myself and senior management to ensure we continue to build our innovative platform, and meticulously execute our strategy.”

What stood out to me about Curve, and why I didn’t hesitate to say yes when Shachar asked me to join the Board, was the team’s impressive execution so far, and Curve’s vision of providing consumers with a central point of access to their finances. The ability to bring together your finances will bring comfort, convenience and control to consumers in the UK, Europe and the US. I’m excited about Curve’s long-term vision, and very much look forward to helping the company achieve its extraordinary potential.”
