These two additions to our leadership team help ensure we can continue to grow and create a great user experience for our business partners and investors.”
Mr. Shamsuddin, who holds a B.S. in Computer Science and a B.A. in Economics from Stanford University, will focus on leading and growing the company’s technology and product organization.

As CTO, Mr. Shamsuddin managed a team of more than 200 tech professionals in Spain, the UK and the U.S.
