The addition of Paul Larbey and Paul Rogers to the board brings invaluable growth company experience and leadership as we make progress on our journey.”

“Messenger apps are ubiquitous, accepted, and ready for business. As businesses look to engage more with customers messaging provides a ubiquitous and simple way to sell products, take payments and offer support all without the need of a dedicated app. Payemoji provide great customer experiences for businesses and the public sector1 and I look forward to working with the founders to help grow the business to capture this exciting market” said Paul Larbey.
Paul Rogers is currently the CEO and co-founder of TheWatertreeProject® a Malaysian-based enterprise committed to the reduction of single-use plastic in the drinking water sector. Paul spent his early years building our 1st and 2nd generation messaging businesses, playing significant commercial roles in helping companies grow to secure successful exits.
