Airfox expands executive and engineering teams in Boston and Brazil
Airfox is continuing its expansion with the hiring of Don Andrade as Chief Financial Officer and additional new hires based in our Boston and São Paulo offices.
Don brings deep financial expertise to help Airfox file the Form 10 to register AirToken as a U.S. security. He is a perfect fit as part of the Airfox team at this pivotal stage, previously serving leading accounting organization Deloitte for 27 years with much of the time spent overseas in France, Greater China, and Russia. At Airfox, he is focused on organizing predictable spending, planning for the future, and reducing unnecessary costs. As blockchain evolves from an early adopter novelty to a foundation of our future economy, hiring Don is recognition that navigating compliance complexities requires guidance from leaders that bridges financial services, policy, and corporate governance.
“I’m honored to join the passionate Airfox team and work towards our mission of democratizing financial services for the underserved,” said Don Andrade, CFO, Airfox. “We have a strategic plan to expand our financial services platform to empower those not equitably served by traditional banking services.”
Also joining the team in Boston as Product Manager is Maura Folliard.
