Michael Pearl Joins Fintech Kirobo as COO

Fazzaco learned that Kirobo, a Tel Avivi-based startup, has named Michael Pearl as its new Chief Operation Officer.

In his new role, Michael will help Kirobo scale and expand its growing community of users, with the purpose of becoming one of the main cornerstones in the world of DeFi. His role in the company will be crucial, as the startup is planning to use the proceeds in launching wealth management and more crypto transaction products.

Michael brings a decade of experience in managing global teams and complex projects for the Fintech ecosystem. He joined Kirobo from Natural Intelligence where he spent less than a year as the Head of content, where he oversaw the related needs of the company’s fintech unit.

Before that, he spent more than four years at Finance Magnates, joining as Head of Intelligence in 2015. Prior to that role, he worked at Tel Aviv-based media house Calcalist as an editor and a correspondent for a year.

Talking about his new role at Kirobo, he said: “I’m delighted and thrilled to be joining the winning team of Kirobo. Kirobo’s groundbreaking technology has already revolutionized the way people transfer cryptocurrency, and it has a bevy of new (and even more exciting) products, set to be released in 2021.”
