In her new role, Jo-ann will lead the company’s product, design and partnership areas to help customers gain better control in managing their business expenses while reducing admin overhead.

"Moving to Singapore from Australia was a big decision for me; however, meeting the leadership team helped make that decision easy. I was impressed by how passionately everyone on the team works to provide great solutions for our customers. I was also touched by the warm welcome from everyone at Spenmo, which demonstrates what a great culture we have here." says Jo-ann.

In her former role as Chief Product Officer at WLTH she led the strategy, design, and development for consumer lending and business payments experience.

Before that, Jo-ann held a leadership position at MYOB, an Australia-based business management platform. She was responsible for product strategy and development of the company's financial services solution spanning Payments, Loyalty, Term Loans, and Invoice Finance.

In addition to being the Responsible Manager on MYOB’s Financial Services License, Jo-Ann was responsible for leading the development of MYOB’s AML Compliance Program and MYOB’s registration as a Reporting Entity with AUSTRAC.

Jo-ann's broad experience across a wide range of Consumer and Business Banking solutions, combined with her passion for making life simpler for customers, has allowed her to deliver multi-million-dollar revenue growth by building new businesses, securing customer loyalty and forging strong relationships with external partners.

"We are thrilled to have Jo-ann join our team and look forward to seeing what she can do with Spenmo. Her vast experience across accounting software, banking, and financial services will be invaluable as we work towards enhancing our platform usability, developing deeper integrations to reduce the work of our customers, and building software that is trusted by businesses in Asia," says Spenmo CEO, Mohandass Kalaichelvan.
