Former investment banker Runn Sachasiri has joined Singapore-based payments unicorn Nium as a vice president.
Runn will head the Founder’s Office and lead strategic projects of the company, according to an update at his LinkedIn page.
Nium is a global payments and card issuance for businesses. The fintech company provides turn-key, purpose-built application programming interface (API) suites for new and traditional finance companies. It recently rolled out a crypto-as-a-service (CaaS) offering aimed at financial institutions.
In July, Nium secured US$200 million in fresh funding led by tech investor Riverwood Capital receiving unicorn status. Unicorn is a term used in the venture capital industry to describe a privately held startup company with a value of over $1 billion.
Prior to this posting, Runn was with PayPal and McKinsey & Company for a total of six years, both based in Singapore. Before that, he had stints in investment banking and investment management analyst in Thailand.
The Thai-born has a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from INSEAD and a Bachelor of Business Administration in banking and finance from Assumption University.
