Leading fashion technology platform Zilingo announces today the appointment of James Perry as its first Chief Financial Officer (CFO). The former Managing Director and Head of Technology Investment Banking for Asia Pacific at Citigroup has over 20 years of experience in corporate finance, having helped clients raise over US$150 billion, including 40 IPOs in the US and Hong Kong; and advised technology companies on over US$80 billion in M&A transactions across six continents.
Earlier this year, Zilingo closed a US$226 million Series D funding round and the company has seen a meteoric rise over the last few years on the back of its technology platform that powers the fashion value chain end to end and provides fashion business with unprecedented access to the technology and services needed to scale efficiently.
As Zilingo continues its growth in markets including the Philippines, Indonesia, Australia and the US, James will be part of the experienced management team that drives the business to scale rapidly and sustainably.
Ankiti Bose, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder, Zilingo commented:
“We are thrilled to welcome James into our leadership team as we expand our horizons and take the company global. It’s a very exciting time for us.”
James Perry, Chief Financial Officer, Zilingo said:
“I’m excited to join the Zilingo team. I have seen hundreds of technology companies over my years in banking, Zilingo stands out as an innovator bringing technology and transparency to an industry that has changed little since the industrial revolution. Zilingo is led by one of the most energetic and visionary teams I’ve come across and I look forward to being a part of this journey.”
