The US company with operations in 20 African countries is looking to extend to South-East Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East, and plans to leverage Oldham’s expertise in operational excellence, strategic finance, and market expansion, having led teams across multiple continents and industries, noted a company statement.
In her new role, Oldham will oversee all revenue and growth functions at Yellow Card including strategy, operations, partnerships, sales, marketing, and customer success. She will report directly to CEO Chris Maurice.
