Next gen core banking platform Yobota has announced the appointment of Ion Fratiloiu as its new Head of Sales. 

Ion boasts significant sales experience, having led sales growth for the likes of FTSE500 US fintech organisation Fiserv as part of its expansion into new territories across Eastern Europe. 

Before joining Yobota, Ion was Sales Director at core banking provider Thought Machine, where he was responsible for spearheading client growth across Central Eastern Europe and the Middle East and increasing expansions into high-growth Tier 1 banks. 

Having started his career in banking whilst at Deutsche Bank, Ion then spent a number of years working in a consulting capacity with Dealogic in the equity capital markets space.

This latest appointment is part of Yobota’s ambitious growth strategy for 2021. Ion will play a key role in ensuring the fintech company is able to tap into new markets and continue helping financial services businesses to deliver positive, progressive digital banking experiences. 

Ammar Akhtar, CEO of Yobota, said: “We are very happy to have Ion on board. He joins Yobota at an exciting time: not only are we growing in terms of our client base, but also with regard to our offering and the number of live implementations."

“Yobota has ambitious goals to make financial services more intelligent, flexible, and always about the customer. Having a dedicated person to win new clients and markets is essential, and Ion brings with him a strong track record, particularly from working with other fintechs. I have no doubts that Ion will make a fast impact on the company.”

Ion added: “I am thrilled to be joining a company whose mission is to drive new standards for the future of digital banking. Yobota already boasts multiple live implementations and customers that rely fully on the core banking platform to run innovative products. Importantly, its unique strength lies in the ability to support multi-brand capabilities and quickly deploy live clients."

“The flexibility of the Yobota platform opens up a host of new avenues for implementation, and I look forward to seeing how we will continue to change the market. I am confident that Yobota’s mission to deliver seamless and sophisticated customer experiences will be reflected in everything we do.”
