Fintech firm Glint Pay, which is in the middle of a crowdfunding round, has promoted its technical lead and head of engineering Dmitry Matyukhin to lead the team.
Its former chief technology officer (CTO), Mark Hermeling, is currently on gardening leave having left the business by mutual consent in April.
A spokesman said the company ‘remain grateful’ for Mark Hermeling’s contribution to the business.
