GLOBE Telecom Inc. has announced the appointment of Martha Sazon as new chief executive officer of Mynt, operator of mobile wallet Gcash, effective June this year.
Sazon is transitioning from her current role as Globe’s senior vice president and head of broadband Business. She succeeds Anthony Thomas who led the fintech company for the last three years.
Sazon is joining Mynt with 12 years of leadership experience across various businesses in Globe such as Postpaid Mobile, Small and Medium Business, and Broadband Business.
Mynt is poised for scale and Sazon’s leadership experience in Globe is expected to help the company in re-shaping, championing and bringing to life Globe’s purpose in the fintech space towards a digital, financially-inclusive and cashless nation, the company said.
