Mo Elshenawy, former President and CTO of Cruise has joined Wasoko and MaxAB as an Independent Board Director and Technical Advisor.
The move seems to strengthen the combined entity’s position as a leading African tech company and empower its network of informal retailers.
Elshenawy brings extensive AI experience and a track record of scaling large tech companies. He will accelerate Wasoko and MaxAB’s tech development and AI capabilities.
The company aims to become a Pan-African ecosystem for B2B informal retailers, offering a range of fintech services and expanding access to essential goods and services.
“I’m thrilled to serve as a board member and advisor with the newly merged company, joining forces with both Wasoko and MaxAB in a shared commitment to unlocking Africa’s immense, often underappreciated potential. It’s inspiring to be part of a mission that tackles Africa’s most pressing challenges by empowering small business owners and delivering critical value to consumers who need it most,” said Elshenawy.
