Thursday, May 6, 2021
Former Google executive will play a pivotal role in helming fintech's rapid ascension to be the leading platform for small to medium-sized businesses in Mexico and beyond
MEXICO CITY and SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., April 28, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Oyster Financial (oyster.io), an online financial services platform and trusted partner for Mexican SMBs, today announced it has appointed Eric Sanabria as its new Chief Business Officer (CBO) following more than a year of him serving as the company's VP of Operations and Revenue.
Prior to Oyster, Sanabria worked as an executive for Google's Online Partnerships Group for North America. For more than four years, he was the group's revenue intelligence lead after serving as a strategic partner manager for Google for two years. From 2011 to 2013, Sanabria worked for Phizzle, a San Francisco-based marketing automation platform, as both an engineering team project-management lead and as an advisor to the startup's CEO and CFO.
"In his new senior role of CBO, Eric will bridge his experience in sales, business intelligence, product management and operations to ensure that we are able to execute well against our aggressive goals," said Vilash Poovala, CEO and co-founder of Oyster Financial. "He will bring even more focus on operational excellence and the continuous improvement of customer experience and retention - which are both key ingredients for Oyster's long-term growth and success."
