Open finance software leader now operates seven international hubs in key regions across the world and powers the open finance infrastructure of more than 60 banks and institutions

In Brief:

Ozone API, developer of the leading standards-based software for open finance, has expanded its international team with two senior hires who will work to drive expansion in the MENA region and lead a renewed focus on security in 2023

Nihal Abughattas joins as General Manager for MENA. She will be responsible for shaping corporate and go-to-market strategy for Ozone API in the region, driving business growth and building strategic partnerships

There is no better time to get involved, particularly by being part of the team at Ozone API, which continues to help shape the future of financial services across the world.”
