TORONTO, ON (October 27, 2020) – Flybits, the leading customer experience platform for the financial services sector, today announces the formation of its new advisory board. This trusted committee of diverse industry and academic experts represent globally recognized thought leaders across innovation, strategy, marketing, and banking.
The key mandate of the board will be to counsel the company as it accelerates its efforts on data strategy, artificial intelligence, and business growth while supporting the unique challenges faced by the banking industry in a post-pandemic era. The timing of this board formation is especially critical as Flybits becomes an essential partner for banks, helping them to accelerate their digital and data transformation, and build trust with their customers in the new economy.
“The global pandemic has created a new wave of innovation that has transformed the business model of banks and how they need to evolve in the future,” said Dr. Hossein Rahnama, Founder and CEO of Flybits. “Our new advisory board will support myself and our senior executive team with our global expansion strategies. They will also play a critical role as we strive to help banks use Flybits technology to become pillars in the communities they serve, rebooting the economy, and building lifelong trusted relationships with their customers and corporate partners.”
