Tingo Group (NASDAQ: TIO), a profitable and fast-growing fintech, agrifintech and food company, announced the appointment of Dozy Mmobuosi and Kenneth Denos as interim co-CEOs. The announcement followed the resignation of Darren Mercer, who has led the company through numerous key developments; Mercer retired to spend more time with his family. The founder and visionary of both Tingo Foods PLC and Tingo Mobile Limited, Mmobuosi is uniquely qualified to lead the company into future development and global expansion during the company’s search for a permanent CEO; the announcement also noted that Denos has served as a director of Tingo since its acquisition of Tingo Mobile in November 2022 and brings decades of experience with U.S. public companies as well as associated governance, reporting, communication and compliance requirements.
Tingo Group also appointed Jamal (Jamie) Kurshid as an independent member of the board of directors and announced that its long-standing deputy chairman John Scott will assume the position of chair while Sir David Trippier will expand his role as an independent member of the board by becoming chair of the audit committee. “Darren has been a valuable asset to the company and the board,” said Tingo Group interim co-CEO Dozy Mmobuosi in the press release. “His vision and belief in acquiring Tingo Mobile and Tingo Foods has added immense value to the company’s shareholders. On behalf of our team, I would like to thank Darren for believing in them and the welfare of Africa. . . . As we move into this new chapter of the company’s development with Ken and I each assuming the role of co-Chief Executive Officer on an interim basis while we search for a sector-experienced and accomplished candidate to take on the role permanently, we are delighted to report that the company’s cash balances have increased significantly to a current level of more than $400 million thanks to a strong period of trade. I am also pleased to report significant progress towards completing our first quarterly dividend, and once approved, we will make the next application, this time for a larger amount, with the goal of increasing the amount of the dividend for our third quarter.”
