Mobile payment solutions provider Zazoo has appointed Tamara d'Onofrio as the firm's new country head for the SA office.
Zazoo, a business unit of Net 1 UEPS Technologies (Net 1), is a technology company and provider of payment solutions and transaction processing services.
Philip Belamant, MD of Zazoo, says: "As we continue to expand Zazoo's offerings into new markets, it is important for us to maintain dedicated focus in each territory and as such I am delighted to announce the appointment of Tamara to head up our South African business."
d'Onofrio's work experience started in SA's banking industry in 2004, and it was here she gained her initial experience and insights into the regulatory environment that governs financial institutions, and the relevance of the compliance function within the financial services industry.
According to a statement, d'Onofrio's client experience spans across retail, commercial, large corporate and multinational companies. Her key focus over this time has been on business development and ensuring the appropriate systems and processes are in place for sustainable growth.
d'Onofrio has worked with Net 1 for the majority of her tenure in banking, which has allowed her to establish working relationships with executive and management teams across most business units, reads the statement.
"Tamara's close interaction with Net 1 has given her invaluable insight into the operations across the group, and the synergies and opportunities that can be exploited through strong collaborative efforts," says Belamant.
"We are extremely excited about Tamara coming on board to head the South African team and will certainly enjoy the unique benefit in gaining fresh perspectives backed by intrinsic, in-depth understanding."
d'Onofrio will work closely with Belamant, who is based in the UK, Dhruv Chopra, who is the country head for Zazoo in India, and Philip Meyer, MD of Transact24.
