 Working with WorldRemit founder and CEO Ismail Ahmed, Andrew will develop the WorldRemit global brand and lead the expansion of the company’s international operations.

 Welcoming his appointment, Andrew Lee said: “WorldRemit is growing and evolving quickly – in terms of the number of people using the service, its international partnerships, technological capabilities and employee base. That makes it a very exciting time for me to join the team and share my experiences of other fast growing businesses and industries.”
