Fintech Peach Payments has hired Uways Kureeman as country head in Mauritius, allowing Sandeep Chagger to fully assume the post of group COO, which he took in February.

Kureeman, a computer science graduate with an MBA and an MSc in artificial intelligence, formerly worked as a senior manager at Island Communications Ltd, where he supervised both on-site and remote teams.

Kureeman comments on his appointment, saying, "With 12 years' experience in different technologies, I am now ready to dive into the world of digital payments."

He says he has always been interested in promoting the use of IT technologies, and as country manager, he can do so while also assisting the Mauritian economy in reaching the next level of digitalisation.

In the case of Chagger, he states: “We are committed to driving growth and innovation in the digital payments ecosystem of Mauritius. I am confident that Uways, with his substantial experience in technology implementations, strong business network, and passion for digitisation, will accelerate Peach Payments’ growth and innovation in Mauritius and the region.”
