MONTREAL, Feb. 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nuvei Corporation (“Nuvei” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: NVEI) (TSX: NVEI), today announced senior leadership team enhancements that further position the global payment technology partner of thriving brands to deliver on its next phase of growth.
The appointments see Yuval Ziv, the Company’s Managing Director, Digital Payments, promoted to President in a newly-created global role, Praful Morar, the Company’s Chief Strategy Officer in Digital Payments, appointed Global Expansion Officer and Netanel Kabala appointed Chief Data and Analytics Officer. In addition, Mark Pyke, President, North America, will retire at the end of March. His role will not be replaced.
As President, Ziv will lead worldwide product, sales, marketing, client engagement and artificial intelligence-led capabilities. He has been with the Nuvei group of companies for the past 15 years driving payments technology development across multiple industries.

Kabala was a co-founder of Israeli fintech startup Simplex, which Nuvei acquired in September 2021.
